President Buhari has revealed that he would be returning to the UK in a few weeks for follow-up treatments for his illness.Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari will on Monday, March 13th, transmit a letter to the National Assembly informing them of his return to the country.
President Muhammadu Buhari met with Governors, Ministers, Service Chiefs and Top Government Officials in State House earlier. Abba Kyari, chief of staff to the president; Babagana Monguno, national security adviser; Lawal Daura, director-general of the Department of State Services (DSS) and Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman; were among those who attended the meeting.
Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano state, and Abdulaziz Yari, his Zamfara state counterpart, also attended.
Speaking to the top dignitaires, he said:"I deliberately came back towards the weekend so that the Vice President will continue and I will continue to rest," Buhari said at the presidential villa."All I need is to do further follow-ups within some weeks."
He said he was "conscious" of the needs of the economy, mired in its first recession in 25 years due to a collapse in oil revenues, but failed to clarify Osinbajo's role or the extent of his powers now Buhari is back home.
Buhari had formally made him acting president when he left for treatment, but that appointment can only stand when the President is out of the country.
Buhari also did not reveal details of his sickness.
"I couldn't recall when last I had a blood transfusion," he said. About his treatment in London he added: "Blood transfusions, going to the laboratories and so on and forth."
Buhari has travelled to Britain several times to consult doctors since his election two years ago.
Officials have refused to disclose details, saying only that he had undergone routine tests. This fuelled speculation that his health was worse than publicly admitted.
Meanwhile there were lots of jubilation especially around the North in Kaduna and Daura in Katsina State. See some photos below:
