As president Buhari arrives Nigeria today due to political pressures after a protracted medical leave in London that lasted more than 100 days, doctors treating him have expressed fear that his health may deteriorate further if he stayed long in Nigeria sources close to the presidency have revealed.
The president hurriedly returned to Nigeria after pressures from protesters at home expanded to New York and later London. The London protest began with a vigil at the Abuja House, the country’s presidential residence in London on Friday night.
The president hurriedly returned to the country a day after the protest.
His doctors are worried that this swift political action may not be so well with his health as he is yet to be certified fit to return to work.
His aide, Femi Adesina had told reporters that president Buhari will address the nation on the 21st of August. 2017. Sources also revealed that the broadcast will be pre recorded as the president is not fit enough to do a live broadcast. Another seemingly obvious reasons the broadcast will be pre-recorded is to allow his media team edit out incoherent sessions of his speech, something that has become imminent since his sickness got worse.

President Buhari may have returned to calm the demands for his resignation but his return to the UK for treatment will happen in no distant time.
The president’s continued desire to be glued to the seat of power despite his deteriorating health conditions is worrisome and dampens his supposed legacy of integrity to endeared him to many of his supporters in the 2015 elections that brought him to power.
