VICE President, Yemi Osinbajo has said that President Muhammadu Buhari would not return to Nigeria from London, where he is spending his 10-day medical vacation until Sunday, June 19. Osinbajo 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: “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, and 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.”
Buhari had taken a 10-day holiday which expired on Wednesday, June 15, and was earlier expected back to the country on Thursday. The Presidency had stated that the President will in the course of the vacation see ENT specialists over a persistent ear infection.
