President Muhammadu Buhari has
arrived back in Nigeria following his trip to the United Kingdom, where he had a five-day vacation started on February 5, Friday.
Buhari had, after attending the Supporting Syria
conference and a meeting with Nigerians in London, sent a letter to the
National Assembly, informing it of his vacation.
In the letter, according
to presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, the Nigerian leader said Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo would stand in for him in accordance with Section 145
of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
The president did not, meanwhile, name the
reason for his vacation, which caused the speculations that he used the
opportunity to see his doctors.
However,
the presidential spokesman has since denied the reports that Buhari is
sick, stating that he took the break just to rest,
having worked for eight months non-stop.
While in London, the president stayed at an
apartment in the Knightsbridge area of the city, but reportedly sent his aides
back to Nigeria.
President Buhari may
resume his foreign trips on February 24 as he to visit Egypt, Saudi
Arabia and Qatar.
