President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday played host to two leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the UK where he has been on vacation.
Pictures of the President in a high spirit, hosting his guests were released by the Presidency via Twitter.
The President has been on a 10-day vacation in the United Kingdom since Monday January 23 and was billed to return to work on Monday, February 6, 2017.
He, however, requested a day earlier to have his leave extended in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors.

The move generated controversies across the country with many citizens expressing fear that the President might be critically ill.
There have also been calls for the President to reveal details of his health status as some have doubted his capacity to manage the stress that comes with his job.
The Presidency has consistently assured Nigerians that the President is hale and hearty and the recent pictures are part of efforts to prove that he is indeed not in any critical condition.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has since taken charge as Acting President.
