Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to return to Nigeria tomorrow, Friday March 10, 2017.
A terse statement from the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina said President Buhari had expressed appreciation to teeming Nigerians from across the country who had prayed for him.
The President left the country on January 19, 2017 for a vacation, during which he had routine medical check-ups.
The holiday was extended based on doctors’ recommendation for further tests and rest.
Earlier Thursday, the presidency released pictures of Buhari with Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, at the Abuja House in London, where the Nigerian leader had been staying.
Circulation of pictures and details of telephone conversations were among the strategies deployed by the presidency to dismiss rumours on Buhari’s health.
