President Muhammadu Buhari who will be travelling to the United Kingdom on Tuesday for a check on his health.
He will be away from office for four days in order to keep the appointment with his doctors.
A statement from the Presidency signed by the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said the President would return to Nigeria on Saturday, May 12.
Buhari’s trip to Jigawa, Shehu said will now take place on the 14th and 15th.
While the President was returning from his trip the Unites States ladt wèekend he made what Shehu described as a technical stopover at London.
Many had interpreted the stop over to mean a plan to consolidate arrangement for Buhari’s check up, but Shehu lied that it was a technical stopover and had nothing to do with President’s health.
His statement announcing the trip to London for medical check up was therefore a surprise to many.
