Pres.Buhari did not specify when he would return because there is an acting president-Femi Adesina

Mr Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President has said the period of extension of President Muhammadu Buhari’s vacation in London was not specified because ““there is no vacuum in government’’. Adesina, who stated this in an interview with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) on Sunday night, said the time was not stated so as enable the president to get clean bill of health from his doctors.
 According to Adesina, with the extension of his vacation, President Buhari now has adequate time to rest before he returns home. He said

“”When he was leaving on Jan. 19 we announced that it was a vacation during which he would also do routine medical check-ups. “”Now, those check-ups have thrown up things that need to be further looked at and that is why he is asking for this extension of the vacation. ““The time is not stated and that reason is not far to seek because Mr President transmitted power to his vice, who is now the acting President. “”So, he does not need to be under that pressure of time again because there is no vacuum in government, there is an acting president. “ 

”Therefore, the doctors can now exhaustively look at him and give him a clean bill of health before he returns home,’’ he said.

 On those spreading dangerous rumours on the president’s health conditions, the presidential aide urged them to desist from such ungodly acts. He charged them to always pray for the good health of the president and have goodwill toward their fellow human beings.

“”My message will be what I also said before, goodwill, let us have goodwill towards our president. “”We as human beings must have goodwill towards one another. Any man can be sick; any man can get well; any man can even die, we are mortals. Anybody can die; anybody falls sick can also get well. “”Therefore, all those who peddle those evil, mischievous, malicious and malevolent rumours on social media need to have a rethink. Instead of all those evil wishes they should have goodwill towards the president,’’ he added.
