Osinbajo, during his visit to Akwa Ibom directed all international oil companies with head offices outside the Niger Delta to relocate to the area.

Abubakar, the vice president under former President Olusegun Obasanjo, arrived Delta state and was received by billionaire businessman, Ayiri Emami, and others.

It was not known as at press time if his visit was similar to that of Professor Osinbajo who acted as president of the country while Muhammadu Buhari was away on medical leave for 52 days.

It is believed that Atiku’s visit is aimed at helping him to consolidate on his political ambition to run for the presidency. He is yet to announce any plan to contest.

Atiku Abubakar had contested against Muhammadu Buhari under the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform during the primary election in 2015.

Though he lost, he is reportedly still building his support base ahead of the 2019 general election.

The Niger Delta region had, before now, been in crisis with militants and agitators attacking pipelines and other major oil installations.
