President Buhari extends vacation on Doctors' recommendation

President Buhari

I can categorically say this period for Nigerians appears to be a type that happened during President

Yaradua's tenure but hope it won't end like it.

A report is reaching the media that President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the National Assembly to notify them of his desire to elongate his leave as recommended by his doctors. The new date for resumption was not stated.

The reason for extension was actually a way to yield to his doctors' recommendation in order for the president to complete and get the result of series of tests he took.

The President's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina on Sunday sais that “The President had planned to return to Abuja this evening, but was advised to complete the test cycle before returning.”

He continued by saying, “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.”
