Buhari Cancels Medical Trip To London And Allegedly Invites Physicians To Nigeria

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday changed a
plan by which he was due to return to London this weekend
for another round of medical treatment, barely two weeks
after his return from a hospital there.
Instead, his doctors will be arriving on Friday to carry out
further medical examination on him.
Sources at the Presidency informed SaharaReporters that
the president’s advance party had already left Abuja earlier
in the day by Ethiopian Airlines before they were recalled to
Abuja.
Sources say the hawks within the presidency advised
against taking the president abroad so soon after his seven
weeks away, as that would begin to feed the rumor mill all
over again about his ailment.
In a short televised address upon his return, Buhari had
hinted about returning to the hospital shortly, saying there
might be a need “for further follow-up within weeks.” Given
the topsy-turvy political climate in the country, however, his
advisers felt it was unwise to allow him to stay away for
too long.
The latest developments come as pressure is mounting on
the presidency to disclose how much was spent on his 49-
day “medical vacation” in the United Kingdom, with
Nigerians saying they have a right to know.
