President Muhammadu Buhari, who returned to Nigeria on Friday after
medical leave, said he will leave his deputy in charge for the time
being and not immediately resume power.
The 74-year-old said Vice President Yemi Osinbajo “will continue” in
the role of acting president “and I will continue to rest”. No timeline
was given for how long Osinbajo would be in charge.
But Buhari’s aide on digital communication, Tolu Ogunlesi said the
president only “joked that he deliberately came back on a Friday so
Osinbajo can continue working and he (PMB) can have a few more days to
rest.”
But it is not clear when Buhari will return fully to work.
