The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.Gen Mohammadu Buhari who left Nigeria on Thursday, February 19, 2015, returned to the country on Friday, after spending two weeks abroad. The retired General, who arrived the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport aboard a British Airways flight  dismissed speculations about the state of his health.While Buhari was away, Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, announced that the retired General was actually in London to seek medical attention. He was even said to have sent a team to monitor the general’s movement in the United Kingdom.

Responding to news making the rounds that he went abroad to seek medical attention for an undisclosed ailment, Buhari said, “I just went off for a couple of weeks to rest. That’s all I did.” Asked whether he visited any hospital during the trip to the UK, he replied, “What is wrong for me to go to the hospital? Am I not here now? Aren’t you seeing me? Are you seeing a sick man?”
Addressing his Chatham House visit also, the APC presidential candidate said, “I went to Chatham House to deliver an address and there was a question and answer session. That’s all.” He took no further questions as he joined a waiting vehicle while waving to several of his supporters who were on hand to welcome him.
