Saraki, Dogara visit Buhari in London 

Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Speaker of the  House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, are the latest set of delegation to visit President Muhammadu Buhari, in Abuja House, London.

The Presidency twitted the picture of the visit via its twitter handle, Presidency Nigeria @NGRPresident.

Buhari has been away for 102 days in London seeking medical consultations with his doctors.

The president had told his media team led by Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, when they visited him, that he had improved tremendously in his health, adding that although he wished to return home, he would obey doctor’s orders.

A group known as “OurMumuDonDo”, led by the convener, Deji Adeyanju and one of its leaders, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, had staged protests asking the president to either resume work or resign. The group also demanded that Buhari should make public the nature of his illness.

The group was forced to postpone its protest, indefinitely, when they were attacked on Tuesday after they took their protest to Wuse market, Abuja.

Another group, under the platform of Centre for Civil Society and Justice (CCSJ), led by Comrade Prince Goodluck Obi Nelson, had also staged a protest demanding that the president be left alone to recover fully from his ailment and continue his fight against corruption.

President Buhari had earlier received delegations from the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) and assured them that he was merely awaiting his doctor’s green light to return to the country. 

In a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, had quoted the president as saying there was tremendous improvement in his health.
