No big issue on Buhari’s return date — Lai Mohammed

Lai Mohammed

Minister of information and culture Lai Mohammed says there is “no big issue” yet regarding President Muhammadu Buhari’s expected return from London.

Buhari left Nigeria on March 30 for London for a medical check-up. The Presidency at the time said he would return during the second week of April 2021.

Responding to questions from reporters at the State House on Wednesday, the minister hinted the president would make good his word to return this week.

“Today is Wednesday, this week finishes on Saturday. So, what’s the big issue in that one?” Mohammed said.

Meanwhile, Buhari was criticised for leaving the country for medical check-up overseas despite threats by resident doctors to embark on strike.
