BEVERLY HILLS, June 16, (THEWILL) – The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo SAN on Thursday disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari will not return to Nigeria from London, where he is spending his 10-day medical vacation until Sunday.
Buhari had taken a 10-day holiday which expired on Wednesday and was earlier expected back to the country on Thursday. The Presidency had stated that the President will in the course of the vacation see ENT specialists over a persistent ear infection.
But speaking with State House correspondents shortly before the commencement of the National Economic Council meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Osinbajo said it was just appropriate for Buhari to take the weekend off and rest very well in London before returning to the country.
He said he had spoken to the President on the telephone and he was in good health condition, adding that Buhari would resume in his office on Monday morning.
According to Osinbajo, “The President will be back on Sunday. I spoke with him yesterday evening and I think it is just the best that he takes the weekend off. He will certainly be back on Sunday.
“I think the most straightforward thing is when he will be back. He will be back on Sunday. There is no point rushing back on Friday or something like that.
“He will just take the weekend off and be back on Sunday. He is in perfect health and ready to resume work on Monday morning.
“Mr. President is in good condition, he is fine, he is very well. He should take a day or two off in London and rest a bit and come back hale and hearty on Sunday and be ready for work on Monday. So we expect him back on Sunday.”
