Professor Yemi Osinbajo finally met with ailing President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, July 11 in London and spent just one hour with the latter Buhari in London. 

Mr Osinbajo spent one hour and left without making any comment on his meeting with Mr Buhari. “Osinbajo meeting with President Buhari in London today, and returning to Abuja immediately afterwards,” the vice president’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, said in a Twitter message posted earlier on Tuesday.

No details were given. Mr Buhari, 74, left Nigeria the night of 7 May after welcoming a group of 82 Chibok schoolgirls released by the militant group Boko Haram.

It was President Mr Buhari’s second medical visit to Britain this year. The first began in January and lasted nearly two months.
