BREAKING: President Muhammadu Buhari has just officially announced his intention to seek re-election in 2019. Details soon…
This comes on the heel of the president’s scheduled trip to the United Kingdom on Monday for the meetings of the Commonwealth Heads of States – though he is going to London, venue of the meeting, one week ahead of the meetings.
The presidency on Sunday insisted that, despite going ahead of schedule, the visit remains official. However, there are rumours in Nigerian circles that Mr. Buhari is leaving one week ahead of schedule to first attend to his health.
Buhari’s poor health has remained a talking point in his presidency.
