In the same vein, Senior Special Assistant on media and publicity to the President, Garba Shehu, last night told The Guardian he had no information regarding the president’s return.
It would be recalled that President Buhari was expected to resume last Monday from his vacation. However, the President wrote to the National Assembly informing the parliament of his desire to extend his leave in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors.
