Vice President Kashim Shettima, on Monday, paid a condolence visit to Aisha Buhari, the widow of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, along with her family, in London, the United Kingdom.
The vice president had earlier arrived London on President Bola Tinubu’s directive following the passing of the former President.
Shettima arrived London on Monday morning in the company of the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
He was received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum.
Tinubu announced the passing of his predecessor who died on Sunday in London at approximately 4:30 pm.
He directed Shettima and Gbajabiamila to proceed to the United Kingdom to accompany Buhari’s body back to Nigeria.
Buhari served as Nigeria’s democratically elected President from 2015 to 2023.
He also served as military head of state between January 1984 and August 1985.
Tinubu also ordered flags to be flown at half-staff as a mark of respect for the departed leader.
Buhari’s remains will be laid to rest in Daura on Tuesday, according to Islamic rites.
