President Muhammadu Buhari has sought extension of his medical vacation to complete more tests and failed to return to the country yesterday as earlier planned.

A statement from the Presidency read in part:

“President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the National Assembly today, February 5, 2017, informing of his desire to extend his leave in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors,” the statement said.

“The President had planned to return to Abuja this evening, but was advised to complete the test cycle before returning.”
