Buhari Extends Stay In London Till Sunday by dre11(op): 12:06pm On Jun 16, 2016

Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari will not return to Nigeria from London, where he is spending his 10-day medical vacation, until Sunday.

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo disclosed this to State House correspondents on Thursday shortly before the commencement of a meeting of the National Economic Council at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari’s 10-day vacation expired on Wednesday.

By the time he would be arriving in Nigeria on Sunday, he would have spent 14 days.
He was earlier scheduled to arrive the country on Thursday.

Osinbajo however 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.
The Vice-President said Buhari would resume in his office on Monday morning.

Osinbajo said, “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.”

The President had so far embarked on vacation two times this year.

He had earlier embarked on a a six-day vacation between February 5 and 10.

Like the case of the second vacation, he remained in London throughout the first vacation.
He had earlier granted an interview where he said the doctors he had been consulting since the 1970s are based in London.

Buhari had before leaving the country written to the National Assembly to intimate the federal lawmakers of his vacation.

He had indicated in the letter that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo would be performing the duties of the President while he would be away.

I just pray PYB remembers he's a pastor and not join in lies.

Pls tell us what it is or better still don't talk at all.

After all, there are so many parrots already in this government who don't have integrity that can do the talking

We wish him well, but the man has failed woefully. He should just retire to Daura, seeing he does not have what it takes to govern this country. He should let Osinbajo try his hands on governance.

1.Osinbandee LIED when he said he spoke with Buhari. Nobody has spoken with Buhari. I don't know what he stands to gain with these lies..

2. Buhari needs rest/prayers.... He is seriously sick. I don't know why they are hiding it from the public.

3.Buhari would not come back on Sunday!!

Really sad Buhari went out to treat himself....and after all the talk about government officials staying at home too.

But the problem really is that our health care system is broke, understaffed, and in need of funding. And the only way to fix it is by ending excessive government subsidies of our health system, privatizing our tertiary health sector,.....and pouring more cash into the primary and secondary sector, reforming training of medical personnel....docs, nurses, pharmacists, etc....and improving the power sector...so that we can have more manufacturing of medical equipment in Nigeria....meaning less imports.
