The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour party (LP) Peter Obi has opened up on the reason he failed to attend the burial of erstwhile president Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.
TheNewsGuru reports that the former Anambra governor was one of the conspicuous absentees at the ceremony which took place in Daura, Katsina State explained that he could not get a flight to Katsina.
However, the former presidential candidate was able to make it to Daura on Wednesday, where he commiserated with the family of the late former President.
“It was difficult to come yesterday (Tuesday) because there was no flight,” Obi told Arise TV.
“Even if there was a flight, you couldn’t land in Katsina Airport. It was all closed, because there was a lot of dignitaries.
“Mourning continues until tomorrow. So, whoever comes today and tomorrow, is still part of the mourning.”
