President Bola Tinubu has arrived Jos, the Plateau State capital for a condolence visit following recent attacks on Angwan Rukuba that led to scores of deaths.
The President’s plane touched down at the Gowon Yakubu Airport in Jos at about 4:45pm.
Tinubu was earlier scheduled to be in Ogun State Thursday (today) to commission some projects executed by Governor Dapo Abiodun, but changed his itinerary Wednesday evening, shifting the Ogun trip to Saturday.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday noted that President Tinubu will also be visiting two other states in the coming days for projects commissioning, after the Easter Celebration.
The President’s sudden decision to visit Plateau was announced shortly after a visit to the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday by Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
The governor had told newsmen after his closed-door with the President that he was at the seat of power to brief Tinubu on the crisis and the steps so far taken by his administration.
Before Tinubu’s arrival at Jos airport, leaders of thoughts from across Plateau State had assembled to receive him at the departure hall of the airport.
The President is expected to address the leaders of the state and other elites on the recurrent crisis that have stolen the peace of Plateau.
