President Buhari Makes U-turn, Cancels Visit To Sambisa Forest

Reports coming out say President Muhammadu Buhari has canceled his visit to the Sambisa Forest, the former head quarter of Boko Haram sect.

Buhari was initially scheduled to declare open the Nigerian Army Small Arms Championship holding in Sambisa forest tomorrow Monday, March 27, 2017.

The minister of defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, will now represent the President at the event, Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai disclosed this on Saturday, March 25. No concrete reason was given for the cancellation.

Speaking to newsmen in Maiduguri, Buratai said Sambisa forest was chosen for the event to consolidate Nigerian Army's grip on the area. If Buhari's schedule was not changed, he would been the first President to visit Sambisa Forest.

@Mary-Ann: it's too late for you. I am already chilling in Sambisa Forest. Well, you have to be fast to catch up with me. If you don't arrive Sambisa by 6pm this evening, I will tell Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai not to allow you in. LOL. @Godwin: the president is known for CHANGE and SUDDEN CHANGE of trip plans @Yusuf: Ha! I did not mention Jonathan here ooo. @Jeremiah: I think he is being security conscious. Despite all the hullabaloo about the Nigerian army taking control of the area, Sambisa Forest is still not 100% safe
