President Buhari returning to Nigeria tomorrow


Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari will be returning to Nigeria tomorrow from the United Kingdom where he has been receiving medical treatment for an undisclosed ailment.

The President left the country on January 19, 2017 for a vacation but has been away from office for over 50 days.

According to a statement by his special adviser, Femi Adesina, Mr. Buhari is expected to arrive Nigeria via the Kaduna airport tomorrow.

Adesina said that the president’s earlier scheduled 10-day holiday was extended based on doctors’ recommendation for further tests and rest.

“President Buhari expresses appreciation to teeming Nigerians from across the country, and beyond, who had prayed fervently for him, and also sent their good wishes,” he said.
