The Nigerian Presidential jet which has been parked in a London
airport for over 80 days, allegedly departed the United Kingdom perhaps
to Nigeria which caused tension within the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to a report by Vanguard, the media team of President
Muhammadu Buhari, however denied knowledge of such thing, saying that it
should be taken as rumour as there was no information available to them
suggesting that the President had left London where he is on medical
vacation.
Many online reports had speculated about the President’s return on
Tuesday when some sources in London had claimed that the presidential
aircraft had taken off from there to Abuja even as it was reported that
some staff at the Presidential Villa had been on standby since Monday.
When contacted by a correspondent, the Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said he was not aware
of the alleged departure of the Presidential aircraft from London from.
Also in denial of any knowledge of the alleged departure of the
Presidential aircraft from London was the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adeshina who said he was not
informed of anything like that.
According to him, “BBC also called me and said the president’s
aircraft had taken off, I should confirm it. I said the tradition is
that if the president is coming, we will be asked to issue a statement
but there has been no such instruction.”
As at the time of filing this report, there was no confirmation to
the effect that the presidential aircraft had left London and there was
no movement within the Presidential Villa to support the rumour.
