President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has returned to Abuja after a 10-day private visit to the UK.

 The President’s aircraft landed at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 6.24 pm yesterday.

 In a statement on the arrival of the President, FEMI ADESINA, his spokesman, said some reckless online media and irresponsible political opposition and individuals, had gone on overdrive since the president left the country on April 25, insinuating that he was going for hospitalization, and would not return after 10 days as stated.

 President BUHARI was believed to have taken a vacation after his re-election campaign, although the classification of his trip as private by his media team led to suggestions that he took a medical leave.

President MUHAMMADU BUHARI is expected to receive the President of the United Nations General Assembly, MARIA ESPINOSA, who is paying a one-day official visit to Nigeria on Monday.

Ms ESPINOSA’s Spokesperson, MONICA GRAVLEY, announced this at a media briefing at the UN headquarters in New York.

According to her, the PGA’s visit to Nigeria is part of her eight-day official trip to Central and West Africa.

The Nigerian Army says it will re-organise the ongoing exercise Harbin Kunama III and expand its mandate following resurgence of banditry in the North West.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General TUKUR BURATAI, who announced this at a news conference in Abujasaid that though Harbin Kunam III, launched on April 1, had achieved a lot in Zamfara, there was resurgence of bandits’ activities in contiguous states.

The Army chief was represented by Major General LAMIDI ADEOSUN, Chief of Training and Operations.
