Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari in his speech to the National Caucus of the APC recently, spoke on the reason why he has embarked on a lot of foreign trips in recent times.

"For globetrotting, sometimes, you need to present your case on personal basis to your economic colleagues and neighbours. Nothing is better than personal touch and I believe that we are learning a lot and eventually, the nation will realize so, I don’t envy you on the harassment you are going through from your constituencies," he explained to his party members.

"Take it with a lot of determination and we will be all right, God willing," he added.

 

Buhari has approximately been to 21 countries in barely 9 months traveling over 26 times with an estimated cost of $1 million per trip according to Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state.
