President
Muhammadu Buhari has said that he is resuming work stronger and more energetic.
The
president stated this while fielding questions from State House correspondents
on Sunday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, after a vacation
in London.
President
Buhari, jokingly, challenged one of the correspondents, who asked him of his
state of health, to a wrestling competition.
“You
have seen me, you saw me when I was going, you can do the assessment by
yourself.
“You
can see me inspecting the guards of honour, if you want to wrestle me, you can
do so, but you know I’m taller than you,’’ the president told the reporter.
The
president, who was clad in a light brown kaftan with a cap to match, did not
use the helicopter meant to transport him to the presidential villa, but rather
embarked on road journey.
The
News Agency of Nigeria reports that the presidential plane carrying the
president landed at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International
Airport at about 5.32 p.m.
Members
of the Federal Executive Council, Service Chiefs, Chief of Staff to the
President, Abba Kyari and Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase were among
those who welcomed President Buhari at the airport.
Others
at the airport were Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara, Governor Yahaya Bello
of Kogi and other government functionaries.
