President Muhammadu Buhari is expected back in Nigeria from his
vacation in the United Kingdom this Saturday.
According to
Leadership, a source claimed only a last-minute change of plans could stop
that.
The source, who is
reportedly a senior official in the presidency, said: “Barring any last minute
change, we are expecting the president back this weekend, probably on
Saturday.”
Buhari is also said
to have cancelled an interview with a foreign media house on Tuesday, but will
likely grant one before the weekend.

Another presidential
source added that the President “had already packed his bags to leave on Sunday
but was advised by his doctors to wait
and get results of
some tests he conducted before leaving that country.
“I can confidently
tell you that Mr. President might still be there (in London) because he has to
succumb to the superior knowledge of physicians who conducted medical checks on
him, but his mind is in Nigeria.”
Reacting to rumours
that Buhari was in a bad state of health, the source said: “What else do you
expect from people? If it were to be other past presidents who go on vacation
or medical checkup without official notification, there wouldn’t have been room
for such rumour.

“But this is a
president who is determined to remain transparent in whatever he does in
office. Don’t forget that this is not the first time His Excellency is
embarking on a vacation outside the shores of the country.”
Last Sunday, Buhari
sent a letter to the Senate, asking for an indefinite
extention to his initial 10-day vacation, so he could receive his
medical test results from doctors.
On Wednesday, his
sister claimed she has been speaking with him daily, since he left the
country.
