President Muhammadu Buhari will arrive in Abuja from his Washington, D.C. official visit on Thursday (today) evening.
This was made known by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, via his Twitter handle on Thursday afternoon.
There has been nationwide concerns as President Muhammadu Buhari’s whereabouts appeared shrouded in mystery, two days after he left Washington following a bilateral meeting with President Donald Trump.
The president was expected in Nigeria on Wednesday.
Mr Buhari’s official aircraft, Eagle One, left Joint Base Andrews military airfield in Washington on Tuesday morning and arrived in London at 9:42 p.m., according to Flight Radar 24, which tracks air traffic across the world.
But as at 10:00 a.m. Thursday, the aircraft was still in London amidst unclear circumstances.
An April 27 State House press release which announced Mr Buhari’s scheduled take-off from Nigeria on May 28, did not say he would stop by in London.
Femi Adesina wrote, “MB arrives Abuja this evening. The good work of rebuilding Nigeria continues.”
The President had visited the United States of America for three days, during which he had met President Donald Trump at the White House.
Earlier on Thursday, another presidential aide, Garba Shehu, had volunteered that President Buhari, who reportedly left Washington, D.C. two days ago, is currently on “technical stopover” in London, without elaborating what he meant.
It may, however, be recalled that the President sees his doctors in the British capital, where had spent 107 days after which he confessed to having been seriously sick.
