President Muhammadu Buhari, who left Nigeria on January 19 for London on initial 10-day vacation, has been confirmed to return to the country tomorrow, Friday March 10.
A terse statement by the special adviser to the President on media and publicity, Femi Adesina said Buhari would return to Nigeria, without detail of what time he would come and where his plane will land.
Adesina however quoted President Buhari as having expressed appreciation to teeming Nigerians from across the country, and beyond, who had prayed fervently for him, and also sent their good wishes.
The spokesman recalled that the President left the country on January 19, 2017 for a vacation, during which he had routine medical check-ups.
“The holiday was extended based on doctors’ recommendation for further tests and rest.”
Earlier today, President Buhari played host to the Bishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Justin Welby at Abuja House in London where the President has been holidaying since January 19, 2017. [myad]
