According to him, the president is billed to return to the country in the second week of November 2022.
This came barely six months after his last trip for the same purpose. The Nigerian leader, who coasted to a historic victory in 2015, took his first vacation only eight months after coming to office. He spent six days in London between February 5 and 10 in 2016.
On March 10 of that year, exactly 50 days after his departure, Mr Buhari returned but was not able to resume work immediately.
Less than two months after, the president embarked on another trip to London for another medical checkup. Although his aides would not confirm what he was treated for, they urged Nigerians to pray for him.
Buhari returned after 104 days, amidst misinformation about the true state of his health.
A year after his longest trip yet, Mr Buhari travelled to London in May 2018 for a “four day medical review.”
Towards the end of March, this year, the president flew to London to take “a short rest” – one that lasted for 15 days and which the presidency had earlier described as “routine medical check-up.”
While in the UK in April, resident doctors in Nigeria, commenced an indefinite strike due to the nonpayment of some allowances.
