Buhari still working from London...

Ibeh Kachikwu, minister of state for petroleum resources, says the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari has not made much difference because the president is working from London. 

Buhari has been the UK where he is receiving medical treatment for an undisclosed ailment.

Speaking in an interview on BBC Hard Talk, Kachikwu said Acting-President Yemi Osinbajo had also been very efficient.

Responding to a question on the state of health of the president, the minister said: “Yes, he is in London. He is undergoing hospital treatment… I don’t know the details of that and I obviously wouldn’t know. But let me say this, he returned from his first trip in London, even though the doctors advised him to have some rest.

“He’s back to London and he has continued some levels of meetings and has been able to play some roles. He has a very efficient vice-president who is sitting in for him in his absence. It really hasn’t made much of a difference.
