The Presidency has explained why President
āThe truth is that the Vice-President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, will now represent the President in Lagos,ā Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said.
āThe President is faced with scheduling difficulties and that is the reason for the postponement of the visit. He needs more time for Lagos and for Edo which had earlier been stepped down.
āAs a result of this, the visit has been scaled down and he is being represented byĀ the VP, who is going to Lagos to commission a few projects, leaving the rest for Mr. President. The President will undertake these visits after the Ramadan,ā he added.
Unconfirmed reports claim that Buhari cancelled the trip due to an ear infection.
