Buhari’s cancelled Zamfara trip caused by bad weather- Matawalle

The governor of Zamfara state, Bello Matawalle, has attributed President Muhammadu Buhari’s cancelled trip to the state to bad weather conditions.

President Buhari was scheduled to pay a condolence visit to Zamfara on Thursday over the recent bandits attacks in the state.

The visit was scheduled after Buhari’s inauguration of BUA Cement’s three million metric tonnes per annum plant and 48 Megawatts power plant in Sokoto State.

However, Buhari had gone back to Abuja from Sokoto, leaving the citizens waiting for his arrival.

Speaking about the President’s cancelled trip, Matawalle said, “As man proposes, God disposes. I am sadly announcing that President Muhammadu Buhari has postponed his condolence visit to Zamfara due to the sharp drop in weather conditions.

“With poor visibility, the President could not make it to Zamfara.

“As Muslims, we accepted this as something destined by Allah.

“The safety of our President is greater than our interest.

“However, I have spoken with the President who assured me of rescheduling the visit soon”.
