According to them, President Buhari had initially barred politicians and other individuals from visiting him in London, but has changed his mind on the decision due to “the change in circumstances.
President Buhari was quoted as saying this was the proper time for him to receive delegations rather than when he was indisposed.
Mr Femi Adesina, stated that he could not give a timeline on the President’s return. “The information at our disposal is that the President will return as soon as his doctors give him the go ahead,” he said.
President Buhari had on Sunday received a delegation of All Progressives Congress ( APC) which comprised national leadership of the party and two of its governors—Nasir El-Rufai and Rochas Okorocha.

Okorocha had reported that President Buhari remains his old self when the team  met him at Abuja House, in London.
Ebonyi State governor Dave Umahi, has described the recovery of President Buhari as “a miracle”.
Speaking with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Network
News, Umahi said he was “excited” to see the President in a good frame of mind.

It is regrettable that what ought to be a dance, turned bloody and...
