Shehu said in a tweet accompanied by a photo of both leaders that, contrary to a report (not by Channels Television) that Tinubu assured Buhari that he and his close aides would be exempt from any corruption investigation, the former President was in London to rest.

The former president wishes to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible so as not to distract the new administration.”
“He chose to go home in Daura in the hope of finding the type of quiet he desired for himself, but after discovering that this was not the case, with visitors pouring in morning, day, and night, he moved out to a more distant location.”
“It is still his wish that he be allowed to rest, and that the Tinubu administration be given the right environment to work on fulfilling the promises they made.”
