Eniola Akinkuotu, AbujaA Federal High Court in Lagos has said the President, Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd. ), broke no law when he travelled to London on a private visit from April 25 to May 5, 2019, and did not to handover to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo. The judge, however, faulted the argument made by lawyers to Buhari that the nine-day “private visit” was not a vacation. President Buhari also stated that his “private foreign trip” lasted for only nine days. Delivering judgment in the suit on Friday, Justice Faji held that Buhari was not under a duty to handover to Osinbajo since his private visit was less than 21 days.
