The development has been confirmed by Garba Shehu, the presidential special assistant on media and publicity.

He confirmed that everything is going as planned and the leader of
the nation arrived the Joint Base Andrews International Airport.

President Buhari is said to be lodging at the Blair House, his official residence all through his stay in Washington DC.

It should be noted that a sitting Nigerian president has never gotten such a welcome from the United States.

White House invited Nigerian leader via statement on June 27, saying
that Barack Obama is looking forward to President Buhari’s visit, during
which both leaders will be discussing the threat of Boko Haram and how
to tackle insurgency.

Buhari is accompanying by a 33-man delegation, including his son Yusuf.

The visit has been seen as a seal on U.S improving ties with Nigeria since Buhari won the April presidential poll.
