Presidency denies report that Buhari has cancelled his medical trip to the UK

Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has denied a report by Sahara Reporters that President Buhari has cancelled his medical trip to the UK and instead invited his physicians over to Nigeria.

Speaking with BBC, Shehu described the report as false. "It is false news. We are not aware of the reported advance movements.

The last time the president spoke about this, he said he would return to his doctors after some time. We are not aware that this has changed."

Upon his return from his over a month medical vacation in the UK, President Buhari hinted that he would in a matter of weeks, proceed to the UK for further medical checkups.
