President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived back in Nigeria following his trip to the United Kingdom, where he had a five-day vacation started on February 5, Friday.
Buhari had, after attending the Supporting Syria conference and a meeting with Nigerians in London, sent a letter to the National Assembly, informing it of his vacation
