He was received at the airport by Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum and Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar.
Shettima’s trip to the United Kingdom was ordered by President Bola Tinubu after Buhari passed away on Sunday, July 13, at approximately 4:30 pm in London.
The Vice President, alongside the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, will oversee arrangements to bring Buhari’s body back to Nigeria.
