Nigeria’s Missing President: Buhari’s Wife Says Husband Will Be Back Soon

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife said he is “recuperating fast” and would soon return to the West African country from the U.K., where he has been on medical leave for much of the year.
Aisha Buhari returned to Nigeria on Tuesday after spending a week with her 74-year-old husband in London. A statement circulated by her spokesman and reported by Nigerian online newspaper The Eagle quoted her as saying that Buhari was recovering well and would soon be back in Nigeria.
The first lady herself tweeted her husband’s appreciation for the “constant prayers for his health” and the support offered to Yemi Osinbajo, Buhari’s deputy who has been the acting president while he is out of the country.
Buhari, a former military ruler who was elected in 2015 in Nigeria’s first peaceful transfer of power since independence, has been absent for almost three months in 2017. The president left the country for the U.K. on January 19 for what was initially described by aides as a short vacation including medical tests.
He ended up staying in London for almost two months, returning on March 17. Buhari did not reveal the nature of his ailment, but said he had never been so sick and that he may need to return to the U.K. for future tests.
