Abuja – President Muhammadu Buhari
returned to Abuja on Sunday after a vacation
in London.
The presidential plane, carrying the president
landed at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi
Azikiwe International Airport at about 5.32
p.m.
Members of the Federal Executive Council,
Service Chiefs, Chief of Staff to the President,
Abba Kyari, and Inspector General of Police,
Solomon Arase, were among those who
welcomed President Buhari at the airport.
Others at the airport were Gov. Abdulaziz Yari
of Zamfara, Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi and
other government functionaries.
Presidential Guards of Honour was also
mounted by the Guards Brigade to welcome
the president back home.
President Buhari left Abuja on June 6 for a
short vacation in London, where he used the
opportunity to seek medical attention from a
specialist on Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) for
treatment of a persistent ear infection.
While on vacation in London, President Buhari
hosted dignitaries including former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
and Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona
11.
Others were the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Archbishop Justin Welby and the Secretary
General of Anglican Communion, Most Rev.
Josiah Idowu.
The president was supposed to resume on
Thursday based on the letter communicated to
the National Assembly before he traveled out.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, however, told
State House correspondents on Thursday in
Abuja that “it is best for the president to take
the weekend off.
“The president will be back on Sunday. I spoke
with him yesterday evening and I think it is
just the best that he takes the weekend off.
He will certainly be back on Sunday.’’
