The governor said the party delegation spent more than an hour with President Buhari over lunch, and it was very clear from the discussions that he followed developments at home very closely.

He said the President was delighted to receive the delegation and asked each governor about affairs in his state. He also asked the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, about the state of the railways.

When asked to react to all the negative things being said about him, the President just laughed, describing such negative reports as lies. Governor Okorocha said President Buhari was completely unperturbed by the cocktail of lies. He, instead, sent his best wishes to Nigerians.

According to the governor, Nigerians don’t have to worry at all, adding that President Buhari will be back as soon as the doctors give him the green light.

President Buhari in May travelled to London for “medical follow-up”, a statement from the presidency said.

The exact length of the president’s stay in London “will be determined by the doctors”, the statement noted.

The trip comes less than two months after the president also spent over 50 days in London on medical vacation. His health has been a major cause of concern in the country.
