President Muhammadu Buhari will tomorrow
write National Assembly to
formally notify them of his return to the country from London, United
Kingdom. Also, the President will resume his official duties.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina confirmed the resumption via the social media network “Twitter”.
“PMB will Monday transmit letter to
N’Assembly on his return to the country. That makes his return to work
formal, and constitutional,” he twitted
President Buhari on January 19
transmitted a letter to the National Assembly informing them of his 10
days vacation in London. He also transmitted the powers of his office to
his Vice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo according to the provisions of the
1999 Constitution (as amended).
The President however did not return
after the 10 days which elapsed on February 6. He later wrote another
letter to the Parliament, extending his leave, informing them of his
doctors’ advise to stay put abroad and run a series of medical tests.
The extension was indefinite as no date
of his return was given. The President however returned to the country
last week Friday after spending 51 days in the United Kingdom to attend
to his health.
