By Andah John
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, as well as two other principal officers of the National Assembly are in London to visit President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Nigerian leader is in the United Kingdom on a medical leave.
It was gathered that others on the trip include the Deputy Speaker, Lasun Yusuf and Senate Leader, Senator Ahmed Lawan.
The lawmakers were said to have left for London on Wednesday morning to meet with President Buhari who has extended his vacation indefinitely to attend to his health.
Buhari had on January 18 written the National Assembly, notifying the legislature that he was proceeding on a 10-day leave and temporarily transferring presidential power to Vice-president Yemi Osinbajo.
He was supposed to resume February 6 but he did not, as he wrote to the National Assembly, informing the lawmakers of his desire to extend his leave in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors, according to his media aide.
