Former Minister of Aviation, and chieftain of the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has said the country is “in trouble,” following President Muhammadu Buhari’s letter to the Senate for an indefinite extension of his vacation in London.
The president’s request was contained in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Femi Adesina. Adesina said the president had written to the National Assembly to notify them “of his desire to extend his leave in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors.
“The President had planned to return to Abuja this evening, but was advised to complete the test cycle before returning. The notice has since been dispatched to the Senate President, and Speaker, House of Representatives.
“Mr. President expresses his sincere gratitude to Nigerians for their concern, prayers and kind wishes.”
However, in a series of tweets after the president’s extended vacation request was made public, Fani-Kayode said: “Buhari has finally acknowledged that he is sick and has extended his stay abroad indefinately. It is now clear that Nigeria is in trouble.”
TheNewsGuru.com recalls that the President left the country on a 10-day vacation on January 19.
