The Imo State Government has announced a postponement of the planned working visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the state.
The postponement was contained in a statement issued in Owerri on Tuesday by Sam Onwuemeodo, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Rochas Okorocha.
Onwuemeodo said the visit earlier slated for Tuesday was postponed because of the President’s holy pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the President was scheduled to visit Imo State to commission some key projects executed by Okorocha’s administration.
Onwuemeodo, who pleaded for the people’s understanding over the postponement, said: “We regret the inconvenience that this development might have caused.”
He said a new date would be announced upon Buhari’s return to Nigeria.
