BREAKING: Buhari is Getting Better, May return soon
Ill President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly
regained his strength, significantly improved, doing very good, okay and awaiting
his doctor’s nod to return to Nigeria.
The President left Nigeria for London
on May 7 to continue with his medical treatment.
“Oh yes; we thank God,” a source in
the Nigeria High Commission in London, United Kingdom, told this newspaper when
asked if the president’s health had improved substantially.
“He is doing very good; he is ok but
his doctors will determine (when he will return).”
The official, who sees Mr. Buhari
regularly, asked not to be named because he had no permission to discuss the
president’s condition with the Media.
He had returned to Nigeria on March 10
after spending 51 days in the British capital during attending to his health.
Upon his return, the president said he
“couldn’t recall being so sick since he was a young man, including in the
military with its ups and downs.”
He also said he could not recall ever having
blood transfusion before.
The president also hinted that he
would return to the UK for further treatment.
“I’m feeling much better now. There
may, however, be need for further follow up within some weeks,” Mr. Buhari had
said while addressing the country.
The embassy source expressed sadness
that some Nigerians could wish the president dead, saying “(it is) sad that any
human being will wish another dead.”
“It’s sad but God is all seeing and
will always suffice and to Him we submit all our affairs. They have failed and
will continue to fail.”
Meanwhile, women from all walks of
life on Wednesday converged in Abuja for a one-day prayer and fasting session
for the speedy recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The women, led by President of the
National Council for Women Societies (NCWS), Mrs Gloria Shoda said the prayers
had become necessary to ensure the good health of the president.
“We have been praying as individuals in our
closet but this time, we have decided to hold this open prayer for our
president.
“We want him to recover quickly and
return to work. The council has decided to make this prayer a monthly routine
to ensure that things work well in this country also.
“Nigeria belongs to all of us and it
is our responsibility to always pray for our leaders, most especially our
president, irrespective of our political affiliations,’’ she said
Shoda said that the prayer session was
also held to ask God to restore the glory of Nigeria and move the country forward.
Also speaking, Anna Nosike, the
founder Gender Support for Women Emancipation and Empowerment Development told
the Media the prayer session was to bring down the Hand of God upon Nigeria.
