BEVERLY HILLS, September 5, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday described his recent sickness, which made him spend 104 days in London, as a divine act of God.
Buhari has been battling with an undisclosed ailment and has travelled twice to London, United Kingdom, UK, to seek medical attention. The President returned to the country on August 19 after leaving Abuja for London on May 7, 2017.
Speaking in his Daura country home in Katsina State where he received the associations of farmers, businessmen, youths, elders and politicians from the state, Buhari attributed his convalescence from the illness to a divine act of the almighty God.
He pledged to continue doing his best for the country, reaffirming his sustained commitment to serving the country.
Buhari stated that he returned to the country with renewed hope and strength to pursue policies that will improve the livelihood of the people, and reposition Nigeria for good.
“Considering the challenges we are facing as a nation, we have been doing our best to provide sustainable solutions, and we will keep doing our best.
“I am happy you came here today, and I am thankful for all the prayers. You are leaders of various groups at the grass root, and you are closer to the people so you understand these problems as well. We need your support,” he said.
In his remarks, the leader of the group of associations, Zannan-Daura, Alhaji Sani Ahmed Daura, said the President’s return signaled God’s interest in turning around the fortunes of the country.
“On behalf of all the elders here, we are grateful to God you returned alive, and in good health,” he said.
Daura, who is a former Assistant Inspector-General of Police, said the President’s life of patience, endurance and contentment was exemplary, praying that God would give him more strength and wisdom to lead the country.
