Nigerians welcome president home after seven-week medical leave
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to his country from the U.K. where he spent seven weeks seeking medical attention.
The president said that was feeling much better, though he did not disclose what he was ailing from.
President Buhari also said that he will “continue to rest”, with his deputy Yemi Osinbajo remaining in charge.
It is the second time in less than a year that Mr Buhari, who won elections in 2015, has sought medical assistance overseas. Last June, he spent nearly two weeks, again in London, for treatment for an ear infection.
Nigerians have welcomed the return of their president. They say it’s in solidarity and to show love for their leader whose been away on medical leave.
