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.’’ 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.
