President Muhammadu Buhari on his successful return from a medical vacation in
London.
Mr Femi Adesina,
the president’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, said the King
congratulated Buhari via telephone conversation on Thursday.
Adesina said the
Moroccan monarch expressed delight and happiness at the kind of reception
Nigerians gave Buhari when he returned home.

the reception was evidence of a leader widely loved by his people.
The Monarch, who
had been in Nigeria on a state visit last December, invited Buhari to also
visit Morocco.

about Buhari’s health during his vacation in London.
The two leaders
also discussed the current stage of the Morocco-Nigeria Atlantic crude oil
pipeline project.
The king also
thanked Buhari for Nigeria’s support in returning Morocco to the African Union
and notified him of Morocco’s request to join the Economic Community for West
African States (ECOWAS).
