Plateau Governor Simon Lalong, 21 Senators and 56 House of Representatives members on Saturday missed the turbaning of Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi as Dan Amanar in Daura, Katsina State.

Others who missed the ceremony were leading All Progressive Congress (APC) chairmanship aspirants Senators Tanko Al-Makura and Ali Modu Sheriff.

They with 42 former Senators and 50 former House of Representatives members were trapped at the presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja owing to flight disruption caused by bad weather.

Also trapped were seven former Deputy Governors, 13 Assembly Speakers, Ambassadors, Emirs and Royal fathers.

The bad weather, which affected flight operations at Nnandi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, left the dignitaries stranded at the airport.

A source at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) blamed poor weather for the flight disruption.

Daura, the home town of President Mohammadu Buhari, led by the Emir Alhaji Umar Faruke Umar turbaned Amaechi as the Dan Amanar Daura (Trusted Son of Daura).

Rotimi Ameachi was Rivers Speaker for eight years and ex-Governor of the oil-rich State.

He was the Director General of Buhari Campaign organisation in 2015 and 2019.
