President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the National Assembly, informing of his desire to extend his leave 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 on Sunday evening, but a statement by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, said he was advised to complete the test cycle before returning.
According to Adesina, “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.”
