Wife of the president, Hajiya Aisha Buhari has stated that the
president is bouncing back from his illness and will return to Nigeria
soon.
Hajiya Aisha, who is currently in London with the
President, gave the update on the President’s health in a message to the
23rd Annual Ramadan Lecture of Ansar-ud-deen Society of Nigeria (ADS)
held in Abuja.
According to The Nation, she was represented at the lecture by her Senior Special Assistant on Administration, Dr. Hajo Sani.
“My husband is recovering very fast. And very soon, he will return to the country to resume his official duties,” she said.
“I thank Nigerians for their prayers for my husband. Please, do not relent in your prayers.
The President will be back very soon.”
This brought forth happy chants of Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!! Allahu Akbar!!! (God is great) by the Muslim faithful.
Aisha
added that she was “hopeful of observing this year’s Eid-el-Kabir
festival at the ADS Mosque in Maitama as she had been doing even before
getting into office.”
The president returned to the United Kingdom early last month for a fresh round of treatment.
