According to Vanguard Buhari and his associate was travelling from Bayelsa State to Makurdi to pursue delegates of his party ahead of the APC delegates congress scheduled for December but had their flight barred permit to land in MakurdiAirport.
He said “the flight was
earlier granted landing permission but we were all surprised when half an hour
to his arrival a counter directive was issued mid-flight thereby forcing the
aircraft to head to Abuja.
“What they did was evil and
dangerous, what if the plane was low on fuel, what do you think would have
happened? Desperation has set into our politics, and it is posing grave danger
to our democracy.”
Thee Benue State Chairman
of the APC, Comrade Abba Yaro, during the telephone conversation with
journalists proved the development describing it as regrettable.
He explained that loyalists
of the party who had laid siege at the airport Wednesday morning were
disappointed and had to disperse when they learnt of the unfortunate
development.
“We will certainly react to
this ugly incident because what they have done was not only callous and wicked
but also unacceptable in modern day Nigeria.”
With roughly two weeks left
for the presidential primaries of the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu
Buhari (retd), and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, intensified visits to
party delegates across the country.
Buhari was received by a
huge crowd of the supporters who stormed Yenagoa in Bayelsa State.
