FORMER President Goodluck Jonathan and former Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Addo, on Monday visited Vice President Kashim Shettima and his delegation in London as they paid tribute to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Communication, Stanley Nkwocha, disclosed this in a statement he signed on Monday titled ‘Jonathan, Akufo-Addo Visit VP Shettima In London, Pay Tribute To Buhari’.
The former president succumbed to a prolonged illness at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 13, at a London Clinic, according to his family.
Buhari had travelled on June 28 for follow-up care but suffered a sudden downturn last week.
President Bola Tinubu has declared seven days of national mourning, during which flags are flying at half-mast nationwide and at Nigerian missions abroad.
Shettima is in London on Tinubu’s directive to accompany Buhari’s body back to Nigeria.
His delegation includes Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, Borno State Governor Professor Babagana Zulum, Minister of Foreign Affairs Yusuf Tuggar, and Deputy Chief of Staff to the President Senator Ibrahim Hadejia.
