Obi was one of the conspicuous absentees at the ceremony which took place in Daura, Katsina State.
The Ex-Anambra governor has been criticized for not being at the event.
However, he has explained that he could not get a flight to Katsina.
Obi 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.

“Mourning continues until tomorrow. So, whoever comes today and tomorrow, is still part of the mourning.”
