Buhari Didn't Cancel His Trip to Ogoniland - Presidency

The Presidency has reacted to reports that Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari, canceled his scheduled trip to Ogoniland in Rivers state on Thursday.

Buhari was supposed to flag off a massive oil spillage clean up exercise in the region. It was generally reported that he cancelled the trip- as he didn't show up.

However, the President's Spokesman, Femi Adesina, said President Buhari didn't cancel the trip.

“We all went to school. There is a difference between cancellation and being represented by someone. The president did not cancel his trip to Ogoniland," Adesina said.

He was represented by the Vice President”, he added.
