Buhari, who has been out of the country for over 80 days, has been receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment.

Staff of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, have been on standby, following reports of President Buhari’s possible return from London.

According to reports, an aide of the First Lady, Aisha Buhari told Daily Trust that “The information just reached me now from the wife of the president, that everything is set for the return of Mr President to Nigeria. Already, some of the president’s family members and security aides of madam (Aisha Buhari) have just returned from London.

“The wife of the president may either leave London on Wednesday or decide to come home with the president anytime soon. We have been told to be on standby because Mr President is returning any time soon this week.”
