The Acting President left the country last night for a meeting with his Principal, who has been on medical vacation in London, the United Kingdom.

In London, Osinbajo spent one hour at the Abuja House, where President has been staying since his arrival in the British capital on 8 May, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

Akande also tweeted that information from the closed door meeting will be shared in due time, after the Acting President failed to brief newsmen in London.

We will soon share more information about AgP Osinbajo's London meeting with President Buhari. It was a very good meeting. God bless Nigeria
