President Muhammadu Buhari has left Nigeria for New York, USA for the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly.
“President Buhari will transit through London on his way back to the country”, Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman said in a statement on Friday.
But he did not disclose when the President will return or why he is transiting through London.
Adesina said the president would join other world leaders at the welcoming reception to be hosted by Antonio Guterres, UN secretary-general, and that he would also hold a bilateral meeting with the UN scribe.
“Equally, the Nigerian leader will hold a lunch meeting with President Donald Trump of the United States of America, along with other world leaders,” he said.
Governors of Zamfara, Ebonyi and Ondo states, and key cabinet ministers are in the President’s company.
