The Vice President will make the trip despite threats by some militants to resume violence in the area.
“The Vice President was taken aback by the threats, but he had since been reassured that the discontent in the region was caused by the same notion that will be created if the planned visit is cancelled,” a Presidency source told Vanguard.
Osinbajo will reportedly visit Gbaramatu kingdom, which is the home town of ex-militant leader, Government “Tompolo” Ekpemupolo.
