Mohammed Barkindo, secretary-general of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), on Monday, paid President Muhammadu Buhari a visit in London.

Barkindo visited the president in the company of his children.

Buhari has been in the UK where he is receiving medical attention since May 7.

In his absence, there have been protests demanding that he either resume office or resign.

The president has been receiving guests lately. On Saturday, he received a delegation of his media team.

On July 23, John Oyegun, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), led a delegation of party members to London to meet with him.

Rochas Okorocha, who spoke on behalf of the delegation, said the president was in high spirits, and that he laughed about the rumours regarding his health.

“By our visit to London today, the merchants of lies have been put out of business and Nigerians will not buy the garbage they have been selling. All those who look up to fake news can find better use for their time,” he had said.

Last Monday, Aisha, wife of the president, returned to London to be with her husband after spending three days in Nigeria. She had left the country on July 2 and returned last Thursday before embarking on this recent trip.
