President Muhammadu Buhari
has written to the National Assembly informing it of his desire to extend his
leave.
The extension, he said, is
“in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended
by his doctors.”
“The President had planned
to return to Abuja Sunday’s evening, but was advised to complete the test cycle
before returning,” a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media
and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said.
“The notice has since been
dispatched to the Senate President, and Speaker, House of Representatives.
“Mr. President expresses his
sincere gratitude to Nigerians for their concern, prayers and kind wishes.”
The statement did not say
when the president, who is on a medical holiday in London, would return.
President Buhari had on
January 19 written the National Assembly, notifying the legislature that he was
proceeding on a 10-day leave and temporarily transferring presidential power to
Vice-president Yemi Osinbajo.
