There are no pictures of the meeting, which reportedly lasted for an hour, but a video has emerged of the Acting President leaving the Abuja House after the meeting.

Osinbajo's spokesperson, Laolu Akande, tweeting with his Twitter handle (@akandeoj), had previously said the Acting President would return immediately after the meeting.

This morning, he confirmed that Osinbajo was back in Abuja, the country's capital, tweeting, "AgP Osinbajo now back in Abuja from London & will be presiding over FEC this morning starting @ 11am at the Council Chambers in Aso Rock".

He had also earlier promised that details about the meeting would be shared with the Nigerian people later when he tweeted, "We will soon share more information about AgP Osinbajo's London meeting with President Buhari. It was a very good meeting. God bless Nigeria".

President Buhari has been in London since he left Nigeria on May 7 to resume treatment for an undisclosed ailment he had first treated on his earlier trip this year.
