This comes shortly after he presided over an emergency meeting with security chiefs at the State House, Abuja.
According to the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, Buhari is expected back in the country in the second week of November.
Monday’s trip will be one of several medical trips the President has
embarked on since assuming office in 2015; spending at least 212 days abroad.
On February 5, 2016, eight months after being sworn in, the President took his first medical trip to London, the United Kingdom, spending six days between February 5 and 10, while his second medical trip would follow four months later on June 6, 2016.
On January 19, 2017, the President embarked on his second-longest medical trip. He returned to the country on March 10, 2017. The trip lasted 50 days.
In May of the same year, barely two months after his last trip, the
president departed for London for his longest medical pilgrimage lasting 104 days.
In late March 2021, Buhari departed for London again for a routine
medical check-up, which lasted 15 days, while on March 6, 2022, the President jetted out to London for a two-week medical trip which lasted 12 days.
