Buhari, who left the
country a fortnight ago, was expected back in the country on Sunday in order to
resume duties on Monday 6th of February, 2017.
President Muhammadu Buhari
on Sunday extended his vacation in the United Kingdom.
But a statement by the
Special Adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, said the President has
written to the National Assembly for extension of his vacation.
The statement did not
indicate how many days extension President Buhari requested for.
The statement issued on
Sunday reads: “President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the National Assembly
today, February 5, 2017, informing of his desire to extend his leave in order
to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his
doctors.
“The President had planned
to return to Abuja this evening, but was advised to complete the test cycle
before returning. The notice has since been dispatched to the Senate President,
and Speaker, House of Representatives.
“Mr. President expresses
his sincere gratitude to Nigerians for their concern, prayers and kind wishes.”
