President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived in the United
Kingdom after leaving the United States, where he attended the 72nd United
Nations General Assembly.
The President departed New York earlier on Thursday and
arrived in London hours later.
The Presidency had hinted before President Buhari left
the country that he would travel through London on his way back from New York.
Although the reason for the stopover is uncertain, his
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, had told Channels
Television that the trip would not exceed its scheduled timeframe.
“One thing is sure; the trip was to last between last
Sunday and next Sunday/Monday.
“Though he is going to the UK, everything will still be
done within the timeframe of the trip,” Adesina had said on Tuesday in a Skype
interview on Politics Today.
While in the US, President Buhari addressed the gathering
of world leaders at the UN General Assembly and also had lunch with President
Donald Trump.
He had assured the international community of Nigeria’s
firm and unshaken commitment to democracy and the African continent.
The President had also asked the world leaders present at
the gathering to cooperate and support the United Nations in order to overcome
growing global threats including terrorism, modern-day slavery and cybercrime.
