Buhari Recovering Fast, Stable, Says Aisha Buhari

Per Second News---Wife of the President Aisha Buhari has confirmed that her husband is doing better and is recovering fast in London.

“My husband is recovering very fast. And very soon, he will return to the country to resume his official duties,” she said.

She gave the update on the President’s health in a message to the 23rd Annual Ramadan Lecture of Ansar-ud-deen Society of Nigeria (ADS) held in Abuja. Aisha currently in London, was represented at the lecture by her Senior Special Assistant on Administration, Dr. Hajo Sani.

“I thank Nigerians for their prayers for my husband. Please, do not relent in your prayers.”

"The President will be back very soon.”

The message sparked shouts of Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!! Allahu Akbar!!!(God is great) by the Muslim faithful.

She said she was “hopeful of observing this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival at the ADS Mosque in Maitama as she had been doing even before getting into office.”

In his sermon at the lecture, Chairman of ADS Northern States Council of Missioners, Sheik Muhydeen Ajani Bello asked a state governor and others wishing  Buhari dead to desist from such thought.

He said: “There is a governor going about wishing Buhari dead. Let us ask him: If Buhari dies, is he going to replace him?

“We need not wish our leaders dead. If we keep talking like this, it is not good. By the grace of God, the President will return very soon.”

President Buhari spent seven weeks in the UK between January and March, receiving medical care for an undisclosed ailment, and returned there earlier this month for further treatment.

Bihari's absence has stoked investor uncertainty and stirred talk about succession in recent weeks.
