President Buhari Leaves for London for Medical Follow-up

President Muhammadu Buhari has proceeded to London this morning for follow-up medical consultation with his doctors.

According to the presidential aide, the length of the President’s stay in London will be determined by the doctors, saying that government will continue to function normally under the able leadership of the Vice President.

“President Buhari has transmitted letters about the trip to the Senate and the House of Representatives, in compliance with Section 145 (1) of the 1999 Constitution,” he added.

President Buhari had travelled to London in January for a similar check up. He returned on 10 March, after 51 days.

Last year June, the President also travelled to check an ear infection.
