Presidential aides were on Friday put on standby over the imminent return of President Muhammadu Buhari from London, United Kingdom.
Buhari, who left Nigeria on January 19, was initially scheduled to return to the country last Sunday in preparation for resumption to office last Monday.
However, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, later issued a statement announcing that Buhari had notified the National Assembly of his decision to extend his vacation.
Adesina had attributed the extension to the need for the President to wait behind and receive the results of medical tests which he had undergone on the advice of his doctors.
Sources at the Presidential Villa, Abuja revealed that Buhari was being expected very soon. The sources said that presidential aides and officials of the Protocol Unit, as well as security operatives, had been put on the alert over the President’s imminent arrival.
Another official said if the President would return by Saturday afternoon, his arrival time would be clear by the (Saturday) morning.
Amidst growing concern that Buhari had extended his vacation indefinitely as his new resumption date was not included in his latest letter to the National Assembly, Adesina had during the week, said the President would return sooner than expected.
“In a communication to the National Assembly, the President did not disclose when he is coming back but the President may be coming back sooner than people think,” the presidential spokesman had told a television station.

ALL HAIL MY PRESIDENT. This is the best president Nigeria ever had.
ReplyDeleteReasons, he cares for common man, he loves Nigeria and indeed the world.
The only president bold enough to have initiated the probing of looters, those killing Nigeria and Nigerians. I am sure by the time he is done, Nigeria will be free from corruption at least to the barest minimum. There is no doubt our biggest and indeed major challenge is corruption. May God continued to keep, guide, and blessed Mohammadu Buhari in good health to pilot the affairs of this great country called Nigeria. I have absolute believe that children yet unborn will hear and remembered him. Who ever wish him bad, God let him be destroyed, scattered, shattered and battered as the smoke vanished in to the air let him/her be so destroys in to total oblivion Amen.
Amen oo, May GOD bless you.
DeleteThe unchained mad dogs are praying for his death but GOD said no. Just because of TSA and anti corruption that made government money invisible to them.
God bless u sir. Nigerians await ur arrival. The greatest Naija presido.#God bless Buhari
