The National Assembly received a statement from the Presidency today informing them of President Buhari’s desire to extend his 10-day leave indefinitely.
Part of the letter reads: “The President had planned to return to Abuja this evening (Sunday), but was advised to complete the test cycle before returning.
“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.”

What was meant to be a medical check-up has turned into an holiday as the President was expected to be back on Monday, January 6STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE: https://t.co/bMSmglkiBC pic.twitter.com/K9sff8E18U— Presidency Nigeria (@NGRPresident) February 5, 2017
Since his trip to the UK, there have been rumours that the president had passed away although this was refuted by his media aides.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said in a statement on Sunday that the extension was necessitated in order for the president to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors.
The upper and lower chamber will sit on Tuesday so we expect that both houses will make the president’s indefinite absence a major topic on their agenda and take a decisive action. We need to know what next from here especially now that it’s clear that the president is too ill to rule.
In other news The minister of Information and Culture asks Nigerians to disregard the news attributed to him in which he was alleged to have said the president won't be coming back today as a result of faulty plane.
In a statement by his aide, Mr. Segun Adeyemi, the minister said that: “Our attention has been drawn to a report quoting the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, as saying the President’s return to Nigeria may be hampered by a faulty aircraft.
“The minister has not spoken to anyone on the issue of the President’s return, hence this report is another from the stable of the purveyors of fake news and should be disregarded.”
