- Buhari's resumption follows a 51-day
medical vacation that got Nigerians
worried
- There are speculations that the president
might need more time to rest, but those
rumors have been dismissed
Following his 51-day medical vacation
in the United Kingdom, President
Muhammadu Buhari is set to resume
work tomorrow, March 13.
Buhari set to resume office this Monday, March
13
According to The Guardian, a source in
the presidency has dismissed the
rumour of the president’s incapacitation
on account of his declaration that Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo will continue
to function for more weeks, saying
President Buhari was as fit as a fiddle

President Buhari on his return to the
Presidential Villa on Friday morning
said in remarks to members of the
Federal Executive Council and military
chiefs, at the First Lady’s Conference
Room at the Presidential Villa that “I am
feeling much better now. There may
however be need for further follow up
within some weeks. I deliberately came
back towards the weekend, so that the
Vice President will continue and I will
continue to rest".
That understanding was later reversed
towards evening of Friday, March 10,
when Presidential sources hinted the
President will resume tomorrow. That
generated reactions, with some
Nigerians expressing doubt whether the
president has fully recovered to
commence rigorous state duties .
Special Adviser to the President on
media and publicity, Femi Adesina, in a
tweet on his handle at noon last
Friday, said the President would
transmit a letter to the National
Assembly to make his return to work
formal, and constitutional.

Meanwhile, Buhari has appealed to
Nigerians not to bother visiting the villa
to welcome him. He said, “rather than
sending delegations to Abuja to welcome
me, may I appeal to our people to
continue to pray for the country’s unity,
progress and prosperity.”
