The Presidential Candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), General
Muhammadu Buhari today (Thursday) left
Abuja on a short working visit to the United
Kingdom, his campaign organisation has said.
In the course of this visit, Mr. Buhari will
hold meetings with key members of the
British political establishment and interact
with some global institutions with interest in
the affairs of Nigeria.
“General Buhari would hopefully give a talk at
the prestigious foreign policy hub, the Royal
Institute of International Affairs, Chatam
House in London, the spokesperson for his
campaign, Garba Shehu, said.
The APC presidential candidate had on
January 23 cancelled a similar visit to the
United States, which would have seen him
speak at the Centre for Strategic and
International Studies, CSIS, which invited
him.
The organisation’s Director of African
Programme, Jennifer Cooke, told PREMIUM
TIMES at the time that Mr. Buhari cancelled
the trip because of a change in his schedule.
Mr. Buhari and his counterpart in the Peoples
Democratic Party PDP, President Goodluck
Jonathan, both frontrunners in the coming
presidential election, were invited by the
organisation to speak on Nigeria’s future.
