President Muhammadu Buhari Is Back To Nigeria After 103 Days In London

The President of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari arrived  in Nigeria after a long vacation in United Kingdom where he received medical treatment for an undisclosed ailment.
We understand that President’s aircraft, Air Force 001, carrying the President landed at the Presidential Wing of the International airport at exactly 4.35p.m this evening.

President Buhari left Nigeria on May 7, for the second round of his medical treatment in London.
He is expected to speak to Nigerians in a broadcast on Monday at 7 a.m.

President Buhari, who had been on medical treatment in the United Kingdom for the past 100 days, was received by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, some state governors and ministers at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja.

It was the president’s second spell of medical leave this year – leading many Nigerians to question whether he was well enough to run the country.

President Buhari, 74, walked unaided from the plane after landing in the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
He was greeted by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who has acted as interim leader, and was accorded a military salute. He made no statement and immediately travelled to the presidential villa.

The governors at the airport included governors of Kano state, Abdullahi Ganduje, Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara, Muhammed Abubakar of Bauchi, Abubakar Bello of Niger, Nyeson Wike of Rivers, Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi and Deputy governor of Kaduna state, Barnabas Bala.

Among those at the airport to welcome the president included members of the National Assembly, service chiefs, Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, as well as other presidential aides.

Others at the airports are the National Security Adviser to the President (NSA), Babagana Monguno; the Director-General, State Security Service, SSS, Lawal Daura, and other dignitaries.

The president took a national salute from the Presidential Guards Brigade while cultural groups sang and danced to welcome him back home. Mr. President, who appeared in traditional attires with a cap, later rode in a motorcade to the presidential villa.

We believe that he is perfectly ok now. Long live our Preesident, President Muhammadu Buhari.
