President Muhammadu Buhari will commence a 10-day leave from Monday.

The President will spend the leave in London, where he is expected to treat what was described as a persistent ear infection.

A statement on Sunday by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, confirmed the development on Sunday.

The statement reads in full: “President Muhammadu Buhari will take 10 days off and travel to London on Monday June 6 to rest.

“During the holiday, he will see an E.N.T. specialist for a persistent ear infection. The President was examined by his Personal Physician and an E.N.T Specialist in Abuja and was treated.

“Both Nigerian doctors recommended further evaluation purely as a precaution.”
