The source said president Buhar would leave Nigeria early, to enable him rest before participating in the 25th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, also known as CHOGM 2018.
The meeting will be held at Buckingham Palace, St James’s Palace, and Windsor Castle, in the United Kingdom.
The meeting is scheduled for April 16-20.

Last year, the president spent 154 days in London, UK, where he underwent medical treatment for an undisclosed ailment.
Buhari left the country on May 7, 2017, after receiving the last batch of Chibok girls released by Boko Haram.
He returned to the country on August 19, 2017.
This is his first leave in 2018.
