Yesterday, July 25, the presidency explained that President Muhammadu Buhari had initially stopped politicians and other individuals from visiting him in London, the United Kingdom.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina attributed his principal’s change of mind to what it called “the change in circumstances.”
It said this was the proper time for him to receive delegations rather than when he was indisposed.
Adesina was joined by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Garba Shehu and the Senior Special Assistant to the Acting President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande in State House correspondents at a press conference at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
When asked specifically to give the mission of the state governors, who will be meeting with Buhari on Wednesday (today), Shehu said, “The visit is a goodwill visit and there is nothing more than that.

“I believe Nigerians in various positions have yearned to go and meet the President and at some point, this obviously has not been permitted.
“But given the change in circumstances, you can see that it is coming from London itself and the President is welcoming it.
“It is a goodwill visit. As a cultural people, we visit people leaving hospital and I am sure the President himself will be delighted to see people coming from the six geopolitical zones to convey the goodwill of Nigerians.”
Buhari has been in London since May 7 for medical follow-up.
