President Buhari proceeds on 10 days vacation for medical reasons.

This was contained in a statement by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman.

It reads: “President Muhammadu Buhari will take 10 days off and travel to London on Monday June 6th to rest.


“During the holiday, he will see an E.N.T. specialist for a persistent ear infection.

“The president was examined by his personal physician and an E.N.T specialist in Abuja and was treated. Both Nigerian doctors recommended further evaluation purely as a precaution.”

Nigerians wish President Buhari a speedy recovery.

It was reported in this blog earlier that Buhari has an infection in his left ear, otherwise called Meniere Disease, a challenge which has drastically reduced his outings in the last one week.

The president had on three recent occasions cancelled official visits within and outside the country due to the infection and was represented at those events by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

It’s not the first vacation of President Buhari.

The president was on break from his official functions from February 5 to February 10, 2016.

During his absence, his vice performed the functions of the president.
