The president has been in London for three weeks now where he is receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness.
Nigeria’s information minister on Wednesday said fears for President Muhammadu Buhari’s health were unfounded, despite more than three weeks with no word about his condition.
Lai Mohammed was asked about the latest situation after the weekly FEC meeting of senior ministers in the
capital, Abuja.
“Once again, I want to make myself very, very clear.On the issue of Mr President, he is in very competent hands and there is no cause for alarm,” he told reporters.
The President left Abuja on May 7 for what his office
said was a “follow-up medical consultation” in the
British capital and has not been seen or heard from
since.
His wife, Aisha, has left Abuja to be with her husband.
She previously played down rumours he was too ill to
rule but said nothing on her departure from the capital
on Tuesday.
