Aisha buhari returns from UK says buhari is happy with osinbajo

Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, this
morning returned from the United Kingdom,
where she went to visit her husband, who is on
medical leave in the British capital.
According to a statement by Suleiman Haruna,
her spokesperson, Mrs. Buhari, on arrival,
conveyed the appreciation of President
Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians over their
constant prayers and said he would soon return
to the country.
The statement, emailed to PREMIUM TIMES,
quoted Mrs. Buhari as saying her husband was
recuperating fast.
Mrs. Buhari called on Nigerians to continue to be
strong in the face of challenges and to support
the Federal Government in implementing the
agenda for which they were elected.
“Mr. President thanked the acting President,
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo for his loyalty and called on
Nigerians to continue to support the acting
President in his effort to actualize the mandate
of the All Progressives Congress,” she said.
Mrs. Buhari had on May 30 traveled to the UK to
spend some time with the President.
Before her departure, she thanked Nigerians
for their support and prayers for Mr. Buhari’s
quick recovery.
The president left Nigeria for London on May 7,
for another round of treatment following his
last trip in February.
He had earlier returned to Nigeria on March 10
after spending 51 days in the British capital
during which he attended to his health.
Upon his return, the president said he “couldn’t
recall being so sick since he was a young man,
including in the military with its ups and
downs.”
He also said he could not recall ever having
blood transfusion before.
A source close to the President had told
PREMIUM TIMES in late May that Mr. Buhari’s
health had improved significantly, although only
his physicians could determine when he will
return to Nigeria and to work, PREMIUM TIMES
has learnt.
The official, who sees Mr. Buhari regularly,
asked not to be named because he had no
permission to discuss the president’s condition
with journalists.
He said the president was largely stable and
able to regularly and promptly observe his five-
time daily prayers.
On those calling for Mr. Buhari’s resignation
believing he is too sick to ever govern again, the
source said, “That’s the view of those arrogating
God’s power to themselves and would surely
regret it, Insha Allah.”
