Ailing President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday received the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, in London.

Buhari is currently on an extended medical  vacation in London, United Kingdom.

The meeting took place in Abuja House.

Buhari posted pictures of himself and his guest on his Twitter handle, @MBuhari on Thursday afternoon.

The President wrote, “Very pleased to welcome the Most Revd and Rt Hon @JustinWelby, Archbishop of Canterbury, to Abuja House this afternoon.”

Buhari was decked in a golden yellow prayer gown with white skull cap while Welby was in black suit with clerical shirt and collar.

They were both seated in the pictures.

In one of the pictures, Buhari and Welby were exchanging handshake.

Since he left the country on January 19, the Presidency has been releasing photographs of those who visited the President in its quest to dispel the rumour of his death.

Those who have visited Buhari included national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; the party’s former national chairman, Chief Bisi Akande; and Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun; President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; and Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan.
