On Thursday, President Buhari visited former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, who is said to be recuperating in the United Kingdom.

Presidency sources on Friday hinted that the President’s aircraft would touch down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport, Abuja by 5pm.
