Nigerians in United Kingdom have described the postponement of President Muhammadu Bahari’s visit to London as the only way to avert the humiliation that would have accompanied it.
The President Friday afternoon suspended the medical trip to London for undisclosed reason. The President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said in a statement in Abuja that the medical trip has been suspended.
The statement read, “The medical follow up visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the United Kingdom earlier scheduled for today, Friday, June 25, 2021 has been postponed.
“A new date will be announced in due course”.
