Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and Senate President Bukola Saraki
on Sunday night paid a farewell visit to President Muhammadu Buhari, who is
scheduled to leave for London on medical trip.
The President, who confirmed this development on his twitter
handle on Sunday in Abuja, said he also received the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, in the Presidential Villa on similar mission.
President Buhari posted: “I received Vice-President Yemi
Osinbajo, Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara at home this
evening ahead of my trip tonight.’’
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that President Buhari
had earlier hosted the 82 rescued Chibok schoolgirls to a light reception
shortly before the arrival of Osinbajo, Bukola and Dogara.
The President had planned to leave Sunday afternoon for the
London trip, but decided to tarry a bit due to the arrival of 82 Chibok girls
who arrived Abuja earlier in the day.
The President, at the reception, described the rescue of 82
Chibok schoolgirls as a pleasant 2nd anniversary gift to Nigerians.
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina,
announced in Abuja on Sunday that Buhari was travelling to London to see
his doctors for a follow up.
President Buhari had travelled to London in January for a
similar check up. He returned on March 10. (NAN)
