Contrary to claims that President
Muhammadu Buhari had
“scheduling difficulties” by the
Presidency and could not make the
planned 2-day visit to Lagos state
on Monday, he instead hosted
Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun
state at the presidential villa.

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was
rather drafted to make the Lagos
state visit and has been
commissioning projects in the state.

Presidential spokesperson, Garba
Shehu, had said in a statement on
Sunday that “The 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,” Shehu told state
house correspondents on Sunday.

“As a result of this, the visit has
been scaled down and he is being
represented by His Excellency the
vice-president, who is going to
Lagos to commission a few projects,
leaving the rest for Mr. President.
