Buhari might leave for medical check-up again – Presidency

President Muhammadu Buhari’s
spokesman, Femi Adesina, has admitted that his boss could still leave the
country for medical check-ups.

Adesina, speaking on Sunrise
Daily on Channels TV Monday morning, however called on Nigerians to pray that
Buhari remains hale and hearty.

“What Nigerians should hope for
is that our president will remain whole. But if there is any reason to go out
why not, you need to first stay alive before you can lead a country so whatever
it takes for our president to remain healthy should be done but we want to hope
and believe that the worst is over,” he said.

The President who had been in the
UK for 104 days before returning on Saturday, addressed the nation on Monday
and Adesina confirmed he is ready to resume office, as he will notify the
National Assembly in writing.

“Later this morning, that letter
will be transmitted and which is what signifies his coming back into office –
It will be done today.

“They don’t have to read it or
debate it, No. What the Constitution requires is for him to send it. Once it is
sent he assumes office,” Adesina added.
