President Muhammadu Buhari, Sunday night, left for London for follow-up medical consultation with his doctors.
A statement by his special adviser on media, Femi Adesina says that the president had planned to leave Sunday afternoon, 'but decided to tarry a bit, due to the arrival of 82 Chibok girls who arrived Abuja earlier in the day.'
The statement reads: "The President wishes to assure all Nigerians that there is no cause for worry. He is very grateful for the prayers and good wishes of the people, and hopes they would continue to pray for the peace and unity of the nation."
It further added that the length of the President's stay in London will be determined by the doctors and that government will continue to function normally under the able leadership of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The statement also revealed that President Buhari has transmitted letters about the trip to the Senate and the House of Representatives, in compliance with Section 145 (1) of the 1999 Constitution.
