As much as I would like Buhari to resign and concentrate on his health issues.
No law has been broken yet, and the executive is coping well with his absence.
May the Good Lord grant him speedy recovery.

Nigerians are very short sighted. President Buhari is good when it comes to fighting corruption and ensuring the security of a country, this he proved as a military despot when every Nigerian irrespective of his position had to follow due process and how he fought maitatsine to a standstill.
As a civilian president, the same thing is happening. There is no open stealing and boko haram have become a shadow of their 2014selves.
What i am saying in essence is that since his adventure in governance, he has always given his vice power over the economy. Idiagbon was a super vice and according to my lecturer (who was Idiagbon's ADC) Buhari gave absolute control of the economy to Idiagbon as all economic policies were formulated by Idiagbon.
Now who is the head of the economic team?
Which office is in charge of the social investment programme?
Who is talking more about security of the niger delta so as to ensure increased crude output?
Who is making policies to ease doing business in nigeria?
