Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Monday told reporters that he was no longer acting as president.
Osinbajo said this shortly after meeting behind closed-doors with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari resumed work on Monday after his return to the country Friday having been on an extended medical vacation in London.
Osinbajo had acted as president while President Buhari was away.
Addressing State House correspondents, Osinbajo clarified that “I am back to my regular position as vice president.”
According to Osinbajo, Buhari is now ready for work and he (the president) is now in charge.
Osinbajo said he and Buhari held very important discussions that lasted over one hour.
The vice president, who said Buhari was reasonably satisfied with the way he acted, also confirmed that he was regularly consulting with his boss when the latter was away in London.
“I think one thing that we must recognize is the way this administration works, it has always been that of team work,” he said.
“There is very little that is done without the president’s clearance and endorsement, so generally speaking, even with some responsibilities that are mine constitutionally, we always have full discussions and agreements on them, and in some cases there is delegation.
“But by and large, I practically discussed practically everything fully with him while he was away and I had his endorsements before we were able to go on and do what we did.”
