The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday left for Britain on a private visit.

This will be his first such trip outside the country since winning the March 28 presidential election.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by its head, Malam Garba Shehu, the Media Team of the President-elect said Buhari will use the opportunity of the visit to take a much-deserved rest ahead of his inauguration on May 29.

“He is expected back in the country a few days before the inauguration, refreshed and ready to hit the ground running once he is sworn into office,” Shehu said.
