President, Yemi Osinbajo, has stated that he is not in
the position to disclose the true health status of President
Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians.
He said the President would tell Nigerians at the right time.
Speaking with State House correspondents shortly after
meeting behind closed doors with the National Chairman of
the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the
Acting President said he was not in any way under pressure to
resign as reported in a section of the media last weekend.
He insisted that the President is hale and hearty and would
address the nation at the appropriate time.
Buhari who was expected to resume duties today, following
the expiration of his 10-day vacation, Sunday announced the
extension of his vacation indefinitely.
Osinbajo said he had earlier spoken with Buhari, who is
currently in London, to keep him posted on developments in
the country, especially with regard to the 2017 Budget and
the protests embarked upon by some Nigerians.
When asked by the media the status of the President’s health,
Osinbajo said, “He is in the best position to answer that. He
would do that as soon as possible. We spoke extensively
today regarding the 2017 and the protest embarked upon by
Nigerians.”
