However, before embarking on his visit to Spain, this publication reported that Buhari held a meeting with APC governors at the State House in Abuja.

Moments after ending the meeting, Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, confirmed that his principal will be going to Spain to honour an invitation from the Spanish President, Pedro Sanchez.

Buhari will also meet with the Head of State of the Spanish nation, His Majesty King Felipe VI, at a separate meeting during the visit.

During the state visit, Buhari will discuss issues of mutual interest to both countries, culminating in the signing of Agreements and Memoranda of Understanding on a wide range of topics geared toward further enhancing the bilateral relations between both countries.

“The President will also be the Special Guest at an Investment Forum jointly organized by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, the Ministry of Trade, and the Confederation of Employers (CEOE) where he will speak to the gathering of top members of the Spanish business community and their Nigerian counterparts on the investment opportunities in Nigeria and ways of expanding the volume of trade as well as further collaborating for the development of the economies of both countries,” Buhari’s media aide noted.
