President Muhammadu Buhari has officially resumed office after being away for over 100 days to seek medical attention in London.

Mr Buhari returned to the country on Saturday evening and was received by the Acting President, Mr Yemi Osinbajo and other top government officials.

This morning, he addressed the nation in a nationwide broadcast, warning trouble makers to desist or be ready for the consequences.

Later in the morning, the President wrote a letter to the National Assembly, notifying the parliament of his readiness to resume office.

“In compliance with Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), I write to intimate that I have resumed my functions as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with effect from Monday, 21st August, 2017, after my medical follow-up in the United Kingdom,” a part of the letter read.
