A copy of President
Muhammadu Buhari‘s letter to the National Assembly, extending his vacation
has been obtained exclusively by Premium
Times.
In the
letter, Buhari said that he will only return to Nigeria when his London
doctors
certify him well enough to do so.
The letter,
dated February 5 2017, read:
Further to
my letter dated 18th January 2017 in which I notified the Distinguished Senate
of taking part of my annual leave.
During my
leave, I took the opportunity to have routine check-ups and consult my long
standing doctors in London.
In the
course of the routine examinations, certain test result indicated the need for
a course of medications and further appointments have been scheduled for next
week.
I am
therefore notifying the Distinguished Senate that I am extending my leave until
the doctors are satisfied that certain factors are ruled out. In the
circumstances, the vice president will continue to act on my behalf.
Please
accept, Distinguished Senate President, the assurances of my highest
consideration.
Buhari, who
was supposed to return to Nigeria on February 5, wrote the National Assembly to
extend his vacation to continue some tests.
Consequently,
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will continue as Acting
President.
