Dear ‘cabal’, if Buhari is well, when will he return home?

President Buhari

by Tosin Adesina

The continued absence of President Muhammadu Buhari from office is worrisome. He has spent over 70 days in London since he left the country on the 7th of May 2017. In his absence, there has been a lot of power play within his cabinet with some trying to outdo each other. The case of Buhari’s Senior Special Adviser on diaspora matters and political affairs, Abike Dabiri and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama on the xenophobic situation in South Africa is worthy of note.

The presidency’s silence on Buhari’s health brought about the speculation by Ekiti Governor Ayodele Fayose that he was on life support.

Days after Fayose’s threat that he would release pictures of the president to the media, pictures of the APC chairman John Oyegun and some governors having lunch with the president flooded the social media thus knocking off the life support tale and the statement from the visitors was that he is fine which was in consonance with what the Acting president, Yemi Osinbajo said when he returned from his London Visit to the President on the 12th of July 2017.

A visit by the Nigeria Governor’s Forum on the 25th of July also re-echoed that the president is in good health – which is a good news.

If the President is fine as described by the governors, isn’t it time for him to return home and deliver on his campaign promises.
