Fresh
anxiety is mounting over the state of health of President Muhammadu Buhari, who
returned to the country on March 10 after a 49-day medical sojourn in London,
United Kingdom.
The
74-year-old Nigerian leader was only seen in public once throughout last week,
when he joined other Muslim faithful for a Juma’at service on Friday at a
mosque located near his office inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The
service lasted less than one hour after which Buhari returned to his residence.
Before
Friday’s brief appearance, the last time he was seen in public was penultimate
Friday when he attended the same service at the same venue.
Presidency
sources attributed the President’s continuous non-appearance at public events
to his ailing health and the need to take further rest.
“It
is no longer news that the President has been sick. His ill health coupled with
his age is responsible for the scaling down of his activities,” one of the
sources said on Saturday.
In
the Presidential Villa, there have been continuous whispers among workers over
Buhari’s continued absence.
The
concern was further heightened when it was observed that many of the
President’s assignments were transferred to the Vice President.
