[Photo] Buhari returns from UK, insists he is physically and mentally fit

The All Progressives Congress, APC, standard
bearer, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) arrived the
Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja early
Friday morning after spending two weeks at the
United Kingdom and immediately told reporters
who accosted him that he was physically and
mentally fit to lead Nigeria.
DAILY POST recalls that Buhari on Thursday,
February 19, 2015 travelled out of the country for
London.
The trip was however trailed by arguments
concerning his health status as supporters of the
ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and
President Goodluck Jonathan led by Governor Ayo
Fayose of Ekiti State claimed that the journey was to
allow him seek medical attention in London.
The opposition leader later appeared at the Royal
Institute of Internal Affairs popularly known as
Chatham House, London on Thursday, February 26,
where he delivered a lecture that was applauded
globally.
Arriving Nigeria aboard a British Airways flight at
about 5:40 am, Buhari who spotted a black flowing
gown with a flash of white shirt on the collar was
ushered into the hands of waiting Journalists who
kept vigil at the Abuja Airport.
Asked whether he went abroad to seek medical
attention, Buhari said he actually took some time
off the campaigns to get some rest, saying, "I just
went off for a couple of weeks to rest. That's all I
did".
Pressed further by newsmen whether he actually
visited any hospital while holidaying in the UK, he
asked: "What is wrong for me to go the hospital?
Am I not here now? Aren't you seeing me? Are you
seeing a sick man?
On what transpired at the Chatham House, the APC
presidential flag bearer said "I went to Chatham
House. I read an address and there was a question
and answer session. That's all."
