Presidential media aide, Femi Adesina also said that Buhari can travel with up to four family members if he so desires.
“There is absolutely nothing wrong with the president traveling with one of his sons,” Adesina told Premium Times.
“It is an acceptable and standard practice. He could go with up to four members of his family. Don’t forget that when former President Bill Clinton visited Nigeria while he was in office, he came with his daughter, Chelsea,” he added.

“President Barack Obama travels with his children and so the President of Nigeria can travel out with three or four of his children. Late President Umaru Yar’Adua used to travel with two of his sons and one of his grandchildren,”Adesina said
Buhari was in the US from July 20 to 23 and Yusuf was part of his official 33-man entourage.
