In the letter, President Buhari said he does not have any definite date for his return as his resumption back to work can only be determined by his doctors.

The President said his reason for the trip to the UK is to follow-up his on-gong treatments and test in London.

The letter stated that length of President Buhari's stay in London will be determined only by his doctors.

Acting president Yemi Osinbajo is expected to continue with the government functions pending the arrival of the president.
