President Buhari Returns From Medical Checkup In London

President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to Nigeria after a three-day medical checkup in London.
The Presidential jet conveying the President touched down the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, the nation’s Federal Capital Territory today, Friday, around evening time.
A terse statement by the Presidency quoted President Buhari as simply saying: “I just went for a checkup. I am now okay.”
The President left for London on Tuesday, according to his spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, on the invitation of his personal doctor for a checkup.
Garba Shehu said: “in the course of the technical stop-over for aircraft maintenance in London on his way back from Washington last week, the president had a meeting with his doctor.
“The doctor requested the president to return for a meeting which he agreed to do.”
Garba Shehu said that the President would return on May 12, and would undertake a two-day visit to Jigawa, which was postponed because of the All Progressives Congress’s Ward Congresses. [myad]
