Benin Residents Count Losses Over Botched President’s Visit
Some residents of Benin are counting their losses following the cancellation of yesterday’s visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Edo State.
The residents made this known in separate interviews with newsmen in Benin yesterday, after the official announcement of the cancellation of the visit.
President Buhari was scheduled to visit Edo to inaugurate the Azura Power project and also declare open the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Annual Conference.
The Presidency, had however, announced the relocation of the COAS conference from Edo to Borno.
The residents said they were looking forward to the conference which would have enabled them to make brisk business, describing the sudden relocation as “a huge loss.”
A businessman, Mr Osagie Ighodaro, said he was pained because he intended to display his wares at the venue of the COAS conference.
“I was shocked when I heard about the cancellation because I was well prepared for it. In fact, I had already arranged my wares ahead of the ceremony,” he said.
Another resident, Mr Iyoha Abel, said the cancellation was one thing he never anticipated.
Abel said he had hoped to use the conference to dispose of his old stock and restock for the Christmas season.
