Buhari’s two-week medical vacation in London generated controversy across the country. Critics and members of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) again voiced their concerns over the president’s frequent trips to the United Kingdom.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said: “It is a routine medical check-up; the President has undertaken this with a set of doctors that he has retained over many years,” said , Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity.
As the country continues to grapple with its security challenges, the President appointed a new Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, a man Buhari says is a round peg in a round hole.
