He arrived the presidential villa at about 11.50 a.m.

Buhari expended a significant effort in ensuring smooth democratic transition in Gambia when Yahya Jammeh, who was a longtime ruler of Gambia refused to step aside.

The Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) appointed Buhari the Mediator in Chief on the Gambian political impasse.
