The Presidency on Saturday dismissed rumors that President Muhammadu Buhari is taking another medical vacation to London, United Kingdom, as fake news.
According to an online news outlet, President Muhammadu Buhari had departed Abuja on a 20-day trip to London, after visiting the country for a two-week medical session around a month ago.
However, President Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Digital and New Media, Bashir Ahmad, denied the rumored medical trip in a tweet on Saturday, claiming that President Buhari was in Abuja and had no plans to fly to London.
In the Twitter post, Ahmad wrote, “The news going round that President Muhammadu Buhari has embarked on a 20-day vacation trip to London is FAKE. The President is in Abuja and he is not planning to embark on any trip to London.”
The news that the President was leaving the country on another medical trip drew a lot of attention as the Nigerians are faced with a national power outage following the recent collapse of the national grip.
