Following the cancellation of his scheduled trip to Zamfara State, yesterday, due to inclement weather conditions, President Muhammadu Buhari has made a broadcast to the people of the state.

This is contained in a statement by his special adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina.

In the video, he regretted his inability, saying: “It pains me that I can no longer be with you today as I had planned. I had just finished what I came to do in Sokoto at the BUA cement facility and was looking forward to meeting you.

“I have been told that the trip cannot hold anymore because of bad weather, which has made it impossible for my helicopter to fly to Gusau from Sokoto.

“I understand how you feel about this development but I know that you will agree with me that Allah knows best. I particularly sympathise with your Governor, Bello Matawalle and his cabinet who have put everything in place to make the visit a successful one.”
