BUHARI TO STAY BACK IN THE UK TILL FURTHER NOTICE

President Buhari Extends Vacation Indefinitely

President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday wrote to the National Assembly, informing them of his desire to extend his leave in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors.

The President was scheduled to return Sunday and resume work on Monday 06th February at the expiration of his vacation but decided to stay back in the United Kingdom on the advise of his doctors–for him to be able to complete the series of test before returning.

Meanwhile,the notice has since been dispatched to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara.

Mr Femi Adeshina,Buhari's presidential aide said,“When he was leaving on Jan. 19 we announced that it was a vacation during which he would also do routine medical check-up.

”Now, the check-up has thrown up things that need to be further looked into and that is why he is asking for this extension of the vacation.

“The time is not stated and the reason is not far to see because Mr President handed power to his vice,who is now the acting President.

“So, he does not need to be under that pressure of time again because there is no vacuum in government, there is an acting president.

“Therefore, the doctors can now exhaustively look at him and give him a clean bill of health before he returns home.”

Adesina urged Nigerians to desist from rumours of President Buhari’s alleged death because it was ungodly.

Instead, he said, Nigerians should always pray for the good health of the president.

“My message will be what I also said before, goodwill, let us have goodwill towards our president.He said: “I just spoke to the president’s personal doctor, and he told me President Buhari is not in any serious condition as to worry about.”He said: “I just spoke to the president’s personal doctor, and he told me President Buhari is not in any serious condition as to worry about.”
