Don’t Expect Me Back Any Time Soon, Says Buhari

President Mohammadu Buhari has said that he needed a longer period of time to rest in London, United Kingdom where he had gone on medical vacation.

The import of this is that the president should not be expected back to Nigeria any time soon. The president said the need to further rest in London was necessitated by the series of medical tests he had run.

He however expressed gratitude to Nigerians who have been praying for him, saying that there was no cause for alarm.

The president’s appreciation was contained in a brief statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina.

The statement read thus: “President Muhammadu Buhari thanks millions of Nigerians who have been sending good wishes and praying for his health and well-being in mosques and churches throughout the country.

“The President is immensely grateful for the prayers, show of love and concern. “President Buhari wishes to reassure Nigerians that there is no cause for worry.

“During his normal annual checkup, tests showed he needed a longer period of rest, necessitating the President staying longer than originally planned.”
