President Muhammadu Buhari has allayed the anxiety of Nigerians about
his health, assuring them that there is no cause for worry.
In a statement today, President Buhari, who is in London thanked
millions of Nigerians who have been sending good wishes and praying for
his health and well-being in mosques and churches throughout the
country.
According to Presidential media adviser, Femi Adesina, “the
President is immensely grateful for the prayers, show of love and
concern.”
“President Buhari wishes to reassure Nigerians that there is no cause for worry.
“During his normal annual checkup, tests showed he needed a longer
period of rest, necessitating the President staying longer than
originally planned,” Adesina said.
President Buhari began his vacation on 19 January, choosing London,
where he also planned to conduct some routine medical checks.
He was
billed to return to work on 6 February.
On 5 February, he notified the Nigerian Senate that he needed more
