Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, arrived at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, on Thursday evening, after over two weeks of stay in London, United Kingdom.
Buhari had travelled to London on March 30 for a “routine medical check-up”, according to presidential spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina.
But, Buhari’s “short rest” at the Abuja House in London has been marred with the #HarassBuhariOutOfLondon protest organised by Reno Omokri, an ex-aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan. A counter-protest or a solidarity protest was soon organised in support of the Nigerian president in what could be described as absurd drama.
The president has been criticised for his medical trips abroad despite the huge amount allocated to the Aso Rock clinic annually.
As usual, armed soldiers and policemen on “route lining” duties have been stationed at strategic points on the road from the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja to the Presidential Villa.
