President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday remained indoors inside his
official residence, 2 days after he returned to the country from a
49-day medical vacation.
Buhari returned to the country in the early hours of Friday from London,
United Kingdom, where he had been on medical sojourn since January 19.
Shortly after meeting some state governors and top government officials
led by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the First Lady Conference Hall,
Buhari retired into his official residence.
The President, who was conspicuously absent at the Jumat service held
inside the mosque close to his office later in the day, has not been
seen in public since then.
Our correspondent, who monitored events at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja, for a few hours on Saturday reported that Buhari remained indoors
throughout the day.
“The President is indoors. He is spending time with his family members.
You know he has been away for a long time. There is the need for them to
catch up on some issues since he travelled,” a source said.
Our corespondent also observed that the Presidential Villa was devoid of
heavy vehicular movement that always characterises the visits of
prominent politicians and top government officials.
A security source said but for a few family members and close friends,
Buhari has not been receiving visitors since he returned on Friday.
The President had shortly after returning to the country urged those who
might be considering sending delegations to welcome him to stay back
and continue to pray for the country.
His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, had said
the President would on Monday transmit a letter to the National Assembly
formally informing the federal lawmakers of his return from vacation.
