Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, has refused to disclose the exact date President Muhammadu Buhari would return to the country.
The Nigerian president has been in the United Kingdom for two weeks for what the Presidency expressed as his “routine medical check-up”.
The presidency had said Buhari will return to Nigeria during the second week of April 2021 after he travelled out of the country on March 30.
However, as the second week of April winds down, the minister said the timeframe extends to Saturday.
While addressing state house correspondents on Wednesday, Mohammed also said there is “no big issue” yet regarding Buhari’s expected return.
Asked about the president’s return, he responded: “Today is Wednesday, this week finishes on Saturday. So, what’s the big issue in that one?”
Buhari had said he was taking a “short rest” in London in a letter to Abdullah ll Bin Al-Hussein, the king of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
