Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, had earlier said “only God’s counsel shall stand” regarding the president’s health.

Adesina was also reacting to rumours on Buhari’s health.

Buhari left the country for a medical vacation last week Sunday, saying his doctors will determine the period of his stay.
