Mr Shehu said the doctor requested “the president to return for a meeting which he agreed to do.”

 

Mr Shehu said “President Buhari will return on Saturday, May 12th,” he said.

 

 

PREMIUM TIMES report that Mr Buhari left the UK Friday afternoon, one day ahead of schedule.

 

 

A video tweet posted by @APCUnitedkingdom indicated that the President’s flight left Stansted Airport, London at about 12:33 p.m. Nigerian time.

 

 

A source at the Presidential Villa said Mr Buhari is expected to land at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport Abuja by 7pm.
