Buhari to return to Nigeria tomorrow

Nigeria's President-elect Muhammadu Buhari will be returning to the country tomorrow Thursday May 28 ahead of his inauguration on May 29 as Nigeria’s fifth democratically elected president, after a six-day trip to the United Kingdom in the company of former President Shehu Shagari.

Mr Buhari, who during his trip to the UK, met with British Prime Minister David Cameron, will arrive aboard a British Airways flight that is scheduled to land in Abuja around 4 am.

Shagari who Thisday learnt, was in the UK on a private visit, was overthrown by Buhari in a military coup d’etat 32 years ago. Both men will be flying back to the country 24 hours before the inauguration. Shagari, between October 1, 1979 and December 31, 1983, was Nigeria’s first democratically elected president.
