The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General
Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed that he will honour his speaking engagement
at the Royal Institute Of International Affairs, Chatham House in London
scheduled for Thursday, February 26.
According to a press statement from the Directorate of Media and Publicity
of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO), Chatam House will
post the event and send out invites on Monday, February 23.
The statement signed by Malam Garba Shehu reveals that as part of his
ongoing engagement in the United Kingdom, General Buhari had an interview
yesterday with a local medium, the “All Eyes on Africa TV Show” with Kemi
Fajodutimi and met with Tony Blair on Saturday, February 21 morning.
Shehu disclosed that Buhari left the London residence of the Awujale of
Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona at about 1.30 pm UK time and returned
to his rented flat in the city.
Meanwhile, the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation has appealed to
President Goodluck Jonathan to call one of his party’s governors, Ayodele
Fayose of Ekiti to order over his continued pestering of their candidate,
General Muhammadu Buhari with falsehood and death wishes.
Shehu said the APC had learnt on good authority that Governor Fayose has
hired people in London who have been trailing the movements of the APC
presidential candidate while on his working visit in London.
“Let it be on record that knowing Governor Fayose’s antecedents, we are
not leaving anything to chances. The Governor who has published death-wish
advertorials on Buhari will stop at nothing. If anything should happen to
General Muhammadu Buhari while in London or anywhere, the authorities over
there in the UK and at home should know who to hold responsible,” he said.
