On speculations that Buhari had been forced to return due to the return or resigns protests in Abuja and London, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, told reporters at the airport that President Buhari’s return had nothing to do with the “return or resign protests” going on in some parts of Nigeria and London.
Adesina who stated that he and some presidential aides knew of his return some days earlier stated, that “The return of the President has nothing to do with the protest. It is about continuing with the work he started. Some of us knew about his return some days back.
“Remember that the Acting President held on effectively and they will continue the work together.”
A mammoth crowd lined up the airport road to welcome the president, along with heavy security presence.
