President Muhammadu Buhari is due to leave Nigeria for London, the United Kingdom, on Tuesday, March 30 for a two-week medical trip.
This was disclosed in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina on Monday evening.
According to the statement, President Buhari is expected back in the country in the second week of April.
It reads: “President Muhammadu Buhari proceeds to London, the United Kingdom, Tuesday, March 30, 2021, for a routine medical check-up.
“The President meets with Security Chiefs first in the morning, after which he embarks on the journey.
“He is due back in the country during the second week of April, 2021.”
Meanwhile, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) spokesman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari is too slow in handling the affairs of the country.
Speaking on Arise Television on Wednesday, Baba-Ahmed said if he had the opportunity of sitting with the president, he would tell the president to wake up to his responsibilities as the country is falling apart.

He wondered why it is taking so long for the Buhari administration to tackle insecurity, adding that banditry and kidnapping were not major issues a few years ago.
“If I have an opportunity to speak with the president, I will say: ‘Sir, please wake up and smell the coffee, this country is falling apart.”
“It is in very serious danger, it is going down under your watch. You swore in 2015 and again in 2019 that you will protect citizens, the territorial integrity of Nigeria. Sorry, sir, you are not doing that, doing it well or you are not doing it at all. And one of the things you should do is to call about 200 to 500 Nigerians, without any preconditions, and say: ‘ladies and gentlemen, I believe that this government will benefit from some quality advice in terms of the way forward.
“Two, take your governors more into confidence, speak to them. They are very important people. They have responsibilities under the constitution and they are able to carry out those responsibilities particularly on matters of security. What do you want? What can we do together? What can I do for you and what can we consider a legitimate idea or a crazy idea?

“Thirdly, please ask real questions about what is going on with the security in this country. Something is wrong. You keep changing things but we see the same result. We are becoming insecure by the day. Either it is your attitude as commander-in-chief of the armed forces or the people you trust to defend and protect us. There must be something about the security that you and the people who are fighting this country [b]don’t understand.
