President Muhammadu Buhari has returned from London after a routine medical check-up.

Recall that the Nigerian leader departed Abuja for the routine medical check-up in London on March 6.

While in London, Mr Buhari met with the National Chairman of the APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Committee (CECC), Mai Mala Buni.

The president, at the end of the London meeting with Mr Buni, called on governors of the All progressives Congress to stop further utterances that lead to disunity ahead of the National Convention.

A statement by the president’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, on Wednesday in Abuja, said the president made the call via a letter he personally signed, and addressed to governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi.

Mr Bagudu is also the chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum.

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