Senate President, Mr Bukola Saraki, has put to rest speculations in the country that all is not well with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mr Saraki, who paid a visit to the President in London yesterday alongside Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara and the Senate Leader, Mr Ahmed Lawan, disclosed that “Buhari is healthy,” emphasising that there is “no cause for alarm.”
Speaking after the visit to President Buhari in Abuja House in London, where he is i=on vacation, the Senate President said, “We were delighted to see that President Buhari is doing well, was cheerful and in good spirits.”
“The President I saw today is healthy, witty and himself,” he added.
According to Mr Saraki, “The President’s absence and imminent return shows that there is no vacuum in government and our system of democracy is working with all organs of government fulfilling their mandate. And let me use the time tested cliché, there is no cause for alarm!”
President Buhari had travelled to London on January 19 for a 10-day vacation, but wrote the National Assembly for an extension because his doctors said he should wait for results of series of tests conducted on him.
