The denial follows claims that President Buhari has embarked on a fresh 20-day vacation to London in the United Kingdom.
But the Personal Assistant to the President on Digital and New Media, Bashir Ahmad, in his reaction to the viral online report said the President is in Abuja.
He added that Buhari is not planning to embark on any trip to London.
He wrote: “The news going round that President Muhammadu Buhari has embarked on a 20-day vacation trip to London is FAKE. The President is in Abuja and he is not planning to embark on any trip to London.”
