President Muhammadu Buhari, who returned to Nigeria on Friday after medical leave, said he will leave his deputy in charge for the time being and not immediately resuming power.
The 74-year-old said Vice President Yemi Osinbajo “will continue” in the role of acting-president “and I will continue to rest”. No timeline was given for how long Osinbajo would be in charge. Sources revealed that the President may travel back to the UK in few weeks time to continue his medication. Though, this has not been confirmed.
