handed the button of leadership to the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to

the President’s health had recorded a remarkable improvement that would warrant
him to return to the country soon. The speculation about the President’s return
was rife Tuesday when some sources in London had claimed that Mr. President’s
aircraft had taken off from there to Abuja even as it was reported that some
staff at the Presidential Villa had been on standby since Monday.

was the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi
