Following the president’s arrival in the country early on Friday morning at around 7:40am, President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he may need to travel back to the United Kingdom on health grounds.
The president made this known in his address after returning from his 51 days medical vacation to the United Kingdom.
Buhari in his speech said: “I am deeply grateful to all Nigerians – Muslims and Christians alike who have prayed and are continuing to pray for my good health. This is a testimony that in spite of the hardship being experienced, Nigerians support the Government in its effort to tackle our country’s challenges.
“The best way for me to repay you all is to re-dedicate myself to serving you, protecting your interests and keeping your trust. I thank you very much.
“I am feeling much better now, there may, however, be need to have further follow-ups within some weeks. Rather than sending delegation upon delegation to Abuja to welcome me, may I appeal to all Nigerians to continue to pray for our country’s unity, progress and prosperity.
“I thank you very much and may God bless our Country!”
