Buhari left Nigeria on May 7, for the second round of his medical
treatment in London after receiving 82 rescued Chibok school girls who
were abducted by the Boko Haram sect in 2014.
While in London, Buhari received a number of visitors, including
Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who first hinted Nigerians about
the President’s recovery.
Other visitors are leaders of the All Progressives Congress, state
governors, Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, Senate President
Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, leader of the Redeemed Christian Church of God also visited the President.
