President Muhammadu Buhari has returned from his medical trip to the United Kingdom.
Buhari came into the country a day earlier than scheduled. Garba Shehu, his spokesman, had said the president would be back on Saturday.
He was expected back on Saturday but the plane which brought him back into the country touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at 6:47pm on Friday.
On hand to receive him were Abba Kyari, his chief of staff; Mohammed Bello, minister of the federal capital territory, and other top government functionaries.
Addressing reporters after his plane touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, Buhari said: “I just went for further medical checkup. I am now okay.”
Muhammad Bello, minister of federal capital territory, and a representative of Ibrahim Idris, the inspector-general of police, were at the airport to receive him.
Abba Kyari, the chief of staff to the president, was among other government officials that received him.
The president left Nigeria on Tuesday after receiving letters of credence from some diplomats.
