Concerns over the health of President Muhammadu Buhari mounted yesterday as the Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki and the House of Representatives Speaker, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, led a four-man delegation of the National Assembly to London to see the President.
Other members of the delegation were the Senate Leader, Senator Ahmed Lawan and the Majority Leader of House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.
Before they embarked on the unscheduled trip, Saraki and Dogara had in their twitter handle last week told Nigerians that they had separate telephone conversations with President Buhari.
Thereafter, the Presidency issued a statement that the United States (US) President Donald Trump had a chat with Buhari where he unveiled his administration’s agenda for Nigeria.
Not satisfied with all the assurances by the Presidency and the National Assembly that Buhari is hale and hearty, Nigerians have continued to demand that the President speaks to them the same way he did to those who either met with him or contacted him on phone.
Although details on why the National Assembly leadership travelled to London in the early hours of yesterday to see the President remained sketchy, there are speculations that it was informed by apprehension among the political elite, especially from the North, and the implications of the President’s continued absence on governance.
A National Assembly source told Correspondents that the unscheduled visit of Saraki and Dogara was not unconnected with the increasing doubts and speculations on his health status.
President Buhari had in his second letter to the Senate on February 7, 2017 notified the Upper House of his intention to extend his 10-day medical vacation indefinitely to enable him complete some tests before returning to the country.
While briefing Senate Correspondents on the President’s letter, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media, Senator Aliyu Abdullahi Sabi, confirmed the receipt of the president’s second letter.
