“If you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t even rule. So, it is just natural that the president went away when he needed it. And when you have been ill, to quote him, he said he had never been that sick in his life.
“So, when you come back you don’t go charging in like a bull into your normal schedule. You work yourself gradually into it, and that is what the president has been doing, and he is doing it effectively.
“When the president came back on March 10 and he addressed Nigerians. He said after some weeks, he will go back for a review. I think that is just laying the cards on the table. I think he should be commended, not some people wanting to make it an albatross around his neck. He should rather be commended for being forthright with Nigerians.
“In a matter of weeks, I will be going back for review, the president said that, and for now there is no cause for us to say he will not go back, but whenever he is going, he will make Nigerians know.”
Recall that President Buhari returned to Nigeria on March 10 after spending fifty days on a medical vacation in London.

Meanwhile, President Buhari's personal assistant, Lauretta Onochie, has called on Nigerians to organise themselves and march against the National Assembly.
She said Buahri will not descend on the National Assembly, especially the Senate, like Obasanjo and Jonathan did. Onochie said the constitution does not allow Buhari to interfere with the impunity at the Senate.
The presidential aide said only the Nigerian people have the powers to recover the hijacked National Assembly.
