Diplomats reveal how Buhari hides his several medical trips to London
Diplomats have claimed that President Muhammadu
Buhari routes his official trips via London, to enable him
see his doctor and avoid declaring medical leave all the
time.
According to a Reuters report, these unnamed
diplomats are believed to be from Western countries.
Buhari
is
currently in the UK for medical vacation.
He was scheduled to return to the country on February,
but he sent a letter to the National Assembly , asking for
an extension to the initial 10 days.
“Diplomats say Buhari has made several visits to Britain
to see his doctor, routing official trips even to
destinations as far afield as Asia via London so as not
to have to declare medical leave all the time,” Reuters
reported.
Several high-profile politicians have visited the President
since he travelled to the UK.
Some
of
them
include: National Leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu; Senate President Bukola
Saraki and House Speaker Yakubu Dogara .
