“He will return Sat, May 12th. On his return, the President’s two-day state visit to Jigawa, which was postponed because of the APC ward congresses, will now take place 14th & 15th May,” Shehu added.

However, the surprise announcement that Buhari would travel to see his doctor renewed concerns about his health weeks after he said he would seek re-election in a poll to be held in February next year.

Buhari’s critics say he is too ill to be at the helm of one of the continent’s biggest economies.
