President Bola Tinubu deployed his deputy, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, to visit former President Muhammadu Buhari in a London hospital on Monday, sources privy to the development have informed TheCable.
The former president has been ill for a while, as first reported by Empowered Newswire, but is believed to be recuperating.
Shettima had been in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, at the invitation of the prime minister, Abiy Ahmed Ali, to attend the official launch of the East African country’s Green Legacy Initiative (GLI).
However, he was directed by Tinubu — who was on a state visit to St Lucia — to proceed to London to check on the former president.
TheCable understands that the president asked Shettima to ascertain @MBuhari’s condition and ensure that he was supported to full recovery.
Shettima flew Sunday night from Addis Ababa and arrived in London on Monday before proceeding to an unnamed hospital to deliver Tinubu’s message to Buhari, the sources said.
