However, when NAIJ.com contacted Garba Shehu, the senior special assistant, media and publicity, he confirmed that President Buhari will no longer be available for the two-day visit but he will be represented by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

He said: “The president will not be able to make it to Lagos for a two-day working visit due to other busy schedule. He will however be represented by Vice president Yemi Osinbajo.”

He declined to speak further on what prompted the late change.
