Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has reschedules his visit to Ondo State after his plane was forced to make a mid-air u-turn on Friday.
The trip had been set-up in continuation of his tour of the oil-producing communities which earlier took him to Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Imo States.
Prof. Osinbajo was already air-borne on Friday morning when weather reports indicated dusty haze and very poor visibility at the Akure Airport and other alternative airports nearby.
The presidential jet therefore had to return to Abuja following which the weather condition was closely monitored until about 2:30pm when it became abundantly clear that the situation would not change in time to achieve the purposes of the visit.
The visit has therefore been rescheduled for Monday, February 20.
The Presidency has extended apologies to the State Governor, the Governor-elect, traditional rulers and the generality of the people of Ondo State who had been awaiting the Acting President’s visit.
