President Muhammadu Buhari returned to Abuja on Friday after medical checkup in London.

The presidential aircraft landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at about 7:09 p.m.

Buhari had departed Abuja for the routine medical checkup on March 6.

He had planned to embark on the medical trip from Nairobi, Kenya after attending the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) in Kenya on March 5, but returned to Nigeria on March 4.

While in London, Buhari met with the chairman of the All Progressives Congress caretaker/extraordinary convention planning committee (CECPC), Mai Buni.

The president, at the end of the London meeting with Buni, called on APC governors to stop further utterances that may lead to disunity ahead of the national convention on March 26.
