Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has arrived Nigeria from the United Kingdom after spending an hour in a meeting with the ailing President Muhammadu Buhari.
It is understood that Osinbajo, who left for London yesterday night, arrived Abuja at about 5 a.m. on Wednesday, after spending an hour at the country’s High Commission where President Buhari has spent much of the past two months on medical leave.
The acting president, whose trip was announced by his spokesman, Mr. Laolu Akande, in a tweet Tuesday night, was scheduled to return to the country immediately after the meeting.
“@Akandeoj.. AgP Osinbajo meeting with President Buhari in London today, and returning to Abuja immediately afterwards,” Akande had tweeted.
A Reuters reporter said Osinbajo arrive at Abuja House, the Nigerian High Commission, or embassy, in London, late on Tuesday. He left an hour later without comment.
Akande then subsequently tweeted that his principal will soon brief the nation on the outcome of his meeting with President Buhari in London.
He described the meeting as ““a very good meeting.”
He said: ““We will soon share more information about Acting President’s London meeting with President Buhari. It was a very good meeting.
“God bless Nigeria.’’
