President Muhammadu Buhari who arrived the country has said the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will continue to work as acting president while he takes his rest.
Buhari who disclosed this at his first meeting with Osinbajo and other ministers in Aso Rock said he deliberately came back towards the weekend.
Below is Buhari’s speech.
“I am pleased that I am back, I am pleased that the Vice President enjoyed this break and he has to do much more this time around. Youth and intellect is squarely behind him, age and purely military experience is behind me. Continue to do the work, Nigeria will continue whether we are here or not and my single most important advise is take education of everybody under your responsibility very seriously, your children our relatives, our constituencies, education education education. We must do more on education.”
He added; “I am deeply grateful to all Nigerians Muslims and Christians alike who have prayed and continue to pray for my good health.
This is a testimony that inspite of the hardship being experienced Nigerians support the government in its efforts to tackle our country’s challenges.
“The best way me to pay you all is to rededicate myself to serving you, protecting your interest and keeping your trust. I thank you very much.
I feel much better now.
“All I will need is to do further follow ups within some weeks.
“Rather than sending delegations to Abuja to welcome me, May I appeal to our people to continue to pray for the country’s unity, progress and prosperity.
I thank you very much and may God bless our country.
