Wife of the President, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, this morning returned from the United Kingdom, where she went to visit her husband, who is on medical leave in the British capital.
According to a statement by Suleiman Haruna, her spokesperson, Mrs. Buhari, on arrival, conveyed the appreciation of President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians over their constant prayers and said he would soon return to the country.
The statement, emailed to PREMIUM TIMES, quoted Mrs. Buhari as saying her husband was recuperating fast. Mrs. Buhari called on Nigerians to continue to be strong in the face of challenges and to support the Federal Government in implementing the agenda for which they were elected.
“Mr. President thanked the acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo for his loyalty and called on Nigerians to continue to support the acting President in his effort to actualize the mandate of the All Progressives Congress,” she said.
Mrs. Buhari had on May 30 travelled to the UK to spend some time with the President. Before her departure, she thanked Nigerians for their support and prayers for Mr. Buhari’s quick recovery. The president left Nigeria for London on May 7, for another round of treatment following his last trip in February.
