President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said he has transmitted a letter to the National Assembly intimating the federal lawmakers of his 10-day vacation starting today.

Buhari disclosed this while speaking to journalists at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, shortly before leaving for London where he is expected to attend to his ill-health.

With the letter to the National Assembly, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is expected to act as President for the period Buhari would be away.
