Buhari Shelves UK Trip, Returns To Abuja From Kenya
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday returned to Abuja after attending the United Nations Environmental Programme in Nairobi, Kenya.
This is contrary to the plan contained in an earlier press statement from the presidency, stating that the president would proceed to London for a medical check-up after the Kenya programme.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to Abuja, after his participation in the 50th Anniversary of the UN Environmental Programme in Nairobi, Kenya,” a presidential aide, Buhari Sallau, posted on Friday.
However, in a statement by Femi Adesina, media assistant to the president, on March 1, Buhari was expected to spend two weeks in London for a medical check-up.
“From Kenya, President Buhari will proceed to London for routine medical checks that will last for a maximum of two weeks,” Adesina had said in a statement titled, ‘President Buhari attends special session on UNEDP@50 in Kenya’.
No reason has been given for the sudden cancellation of the London leg of the journey.
