President Muhammadu Buhari’s media and publicity adviser, Femi Adesina, has revealed the president’s 2017 schedule. According to Adesina, Buhari missed eight months of work in 2017 due to illness.
The presidential spokesman revealed this on Channels Television’s Politics.
According to Adesina, the President spent eight months in the UK for treatment in 2017, as Daily Trust reported.
“When he fell sick in January 2017, he came back in March, went again in April and didn’t come back till August 19.
“About all, eight months. That sickness took eight months of his time in the office. Of course, nobody would like that but what we are glad about is that he came whole, sound and better than he went.”
