He is expected back in the office next week, although no specific date has been given.
Buhari’s appearance on Saturday might put an end to speculations about his whereabouts and health status, although presidential handlers expect the rumour mills to remain busy.

Pls tell his handlers that this will not placate us the citizens. Let him address journalists like his elder, President Trump does now and then in the US.
Nigeria has its own style of leadership
We would like to see him life on national television to prove he is with us.
What’s difficult in coming out with the true position of things with our President? Addressing the public like others is not even the issue here, other well informed people could be delegated to do that. What is Mr. President’s status as far as COVID-19 is concerned? There’s no ignominy as far as this is concerned. Boris Johnson, Prince Charles, even in here in Nigeria. What’s there? There’s healing in the truth.
