President Muhammadu Buhari
on Saturday held a meeting with the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, and Service
Chiefs at the State House, Abuja. The
President was said to have been formally welcomed by Osinbajo, who had been the
Acting President, at the meeting which held behind closed doors.

He
is expected to address the nation on Monday morning and will receive full
briefing of events that occurred during his absence by the Service Chiefs. Buhari
had returned to the country on Saturday after over 100 days medical vacation in
the United Kingdom.
Osinbajo,
while speaking to State House correspondents on the President’s return, said:
“As you can see from the many Nigerians who lined up on the road to receive the
President as he came back, many Nigerians are happy that the President is hail
and hearty and that he has come back.
“It
was a natural reaction, most people heard of his arrival only a few hours
before then, but as you can see, the response was so spontaneous. So, I think
that people were so exited and very happy.”
“The
message to Nigerians is that, the recovery and recuperation of the President is
in some sense symbolic of the recovery of Nigeria.”
“Nigeria
is going to recover. We are on the path of strong economic recovery and this is
an excellent sign that the country is on the right side.”
“There
is great hope, there is great excitement and we are going to make it as a
nation,” he stated.
