Former Military Head of State and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, February 19, 2015 jetted out of the country to the United Kingdom (UK) for unspecified reasons.
According to Buhari’s campaign organisation, APC Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO), the General is on a ‘brief working visit’ to the UK ‘where he will hold meetings with several global institutions in the interest of Nigeria.’ Garba Shehu the, spokesman for the APCPCO was quoted as saying:
General Buhari would hopefully give a talk at the prestigious foreign policy hub, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatam House in London.
However, insider sources within the Buhari campaign team tell The Trent, that the trip to the UK is connected to the deteriorating health condition of Buhari which has taken for the worse in the past two weeks. The campaign decided to whisk him out of the country to deceive secret medical attention away from the Nigerian media. This confirms earlier reports that the UK trip is a medical one.
Of growing concern within Buhari’s ranks is his failing health which the General had hoped to secretly attend to in the United States last month. But his application for a US medical visa leaked to the media and the General cancelled his trip to the US last month.
