The Senate on Tuesday
confirmed the receipt of
President Muhammadu
Buhari’s letter to extend his
10-day vacation in UK.
Aliyu Sabi, spokesperson of
the senate, made this known
to journalists in Abuja on
Tuesday.
Mr. Sabi said that the letter
did not specify when the
president would return to the
country.
“You will recall that we
received a letter from
President Muhammadu
Buhari before suspending
plenary to attend to the
budget.
“In the letter dated
January18, he informed the
senate that he was
proceeding on a 10-day
vacation and for medical
checkup.
“He also stated very clearly
that in his absence, the Vice
President will be in charge of
the affairs of the country.
“We are also in receipt of a
second letter informing us
that he is extending his
vacation because in the
course of the routine
checkup, his doctors
recommended more
checkups,“ he said.
Mr. Sabi said further that he
was not privy to when the
letter was transmitted to the
President of the Senate,
Bukola Saraki.
He said that he was briefed about the
letter shortly before the media briefing.
The spokesman said that the senate
would deliberate on the letter upon
resumption on February 21.
It is not clear if the senate would still
proceed with the deliberation should the
president arrive before then.
Mr. Sabi urged Nigerians to exercise
patience with the present government as
it was making efforts to provide succour
to them.
He also assured Nigerians that the senate
was not relenting in helping the
executive to boost the nation’s economy.
Mr. Sabi’s statement comes amidst
apprehension over Mr. Buhari’s health,
despite repeated assurance by the
presidency.
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo said on
Monday that he had a successful
telephone conversation with the
president, whom he described as hale
and hearty.
