President Muhammadu Buhari has landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja around 5.30pm on June 19, after spending 13 days in the United Kingdom.

The president was received by Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara state, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state; members of the Federal Executive Council, top government officials, federal lawmakers and service chiefs among others.

On arrival, Buhari inspected a guard of honour mounted by men of the Guards Brigade. 

With the elaborate airport ceremonies over, the president and some top aides left for the presidential villa.

While the President of the Country was asked about his health status, he said that he was okay.

“You have seen me. You saw me when I was going. You can do the assessment yourself.

“I am okay. You can see me inspecting the guard of honour. You can see I am taller than you. Do you want to wrestle with me, you can do so,” Buhari said. 

The president departed Abuja for the British capital, London, on June 6. Initially the trip was planned as a 10-day vacation. 

The medical check-up with an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist was scheduled for the president. However, the duration of Buhari’s stay was unexpectedly prolonged.


The president was examined and treated by his personal physician and an ENT specialist in Abuja, but both doctors recommended further check-up abroad ‘purely as a precaution’.
