Emerging report indicates that the Presidency is allegedly planning to extend the stay of President Muhammadu Buhari, who has been in the United Kingdom, UK, since March 30, on a routine Medical check-up.
It was further learnt that although President Buhari failed to hand over officially, to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, he has been told to keep himself in an Acting capacity, as the extension is being worked out.
While not giving a particular date, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, had said that the President would be back in the second week of April.
However, it was gathered that the planned return date may no longer be feasible. This is because, the growing protest in London by #HarassBuhariOutofLondon and #RevolutionNow Campaigners, has reportedly prevented the President from being taken to the places he wants to go in the foreign city.
“Buhari did not hand over to the VP, but he told him to keep Acting. As it stands now, he will extend his stay in London, from what we are hearing. The protest by #Revolutionnow has hampered his abilities to go around London. An extension is now in the offing”, a top Official disclosed.
