NAN reports that Buhari is expected to arrive at the Yola International Airport by 10.30 a.m for the event on Monday.
Adequate security measures had been put in place following strategic deployment of security personnel within and outside the Mahmud Ribadu Square venue of the event.
On arrival, the president is expected to pay homage to the paramount ruler of the state and Lamido Adamawa, Alhaji Barkindo Aliyu Mustapha, after which he would proceed to the venue of the meeting.

To be sure, there are not a few supporters of Asiwaju who have been glad that President Buhari has not mounted the rostrum to canvass support for Asiwaju so far. The thinking was that Asiwaju wanted to distance himself from Buhari as far as possible.
One of the many concerns of Asiwaju’s supporters has been how he will overcome the burden of supporting and foisting Buhari’s disaster upon this nation.
The truth must be told as it is.
