He has planned to be with you here but for other pressing demands, he has sent me to you, as one of you, to show his heartfelt feelings for the natural disaster.
A deeply touched Comrade Oshiomhole apologized to the people for the inability of Sen Tinubu to visit them, stating further that the scheduled visit was botched the last minute detection of a technical fault in the chopper that was to convey the Tinubu delegation to the state.
