President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, returned yesterday, being Saturday 19th August at 4:35 p.m through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja,
after being away for 104 days starting from 7th May, for the second round of his medical care in London.
Although there was the speculation that President Buhari may have been forced to return home by pockets of protests especially from the Charly Boy “Resume or Resign” group, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina debunked the insinuations saying:
”The return of the President has nothing to do with the protest. It is about continuing with the work he started. Some of us knew about his return some days back.Even though the president had been absent for so long, he still remained in the hearts of so many as a mammoth crowd had lined up along airport Road waiting for his arrival yesterday.
Remember that the acting President held on effectively and they will continue the work together. We left the work of announcement with the managers of the acting President.”
The massive crowd escorted the President as he rode to the presidential Villa.
Buhari is expected to address the nation on Monday.
