Diezani had been billed to travel to the UK next
week Tuesday according to a source, however
upon learning that Buhari was traveling to London,
she asked the airline to book her on the same flight
as Buhari so that she could have a chance to
discuss directly with the President-Elect. The
British Airways flight departed Abuja this morning
at 9:00am Nigerian time.
Several aides and close associates of Buhari said
they were surprised to learn of the trip since they
were with him till 7PM last night shortly after he
arrived from his hometown, Duara.
A family source told SaharaReporters that Buhari
was traveling to London for the weekend and is
expected back in Nigeria on Tuesday in time for
the swearing in ceremonies.
