President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari set to return to Nigeria tomorrow after 2-month medical getaway in london


Nigeria social media has been agog with the continued absence of President Buhari in a time when the country has been faced with immense hardship.
The president who went on medical leave on January 19, is set to return to the country on Friday, 10/03/2017. His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina has made known the president's plan to return to office in very short time.
Adesina was silent on the time the President is expected to land in Nigeria but our correspondent learned that he will arrive in the early hours of the day.
The three-paragraph statement read, “President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to return to the country tomorrow, Friday, March 10, 2017.
“The President left the country on January 19, 2017, for a vacation, during which he had routine medical check-ups. The holiday was extended based on doctors’ recommendation for further tests and rest.
“President Buhari expresses appreciation to teeming Nigerians from across the country, and beyond, who had prayed fervently for him, and also sent their good wishes.”
With the closure of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, the President is expected to land at the Kaduna International Airport from where he will be conveyed in a helicopter to the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
