Senate president Bukola Saraki has confirmed to Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari was in ”good spirits’ when he spoke with him Wednesday night.
Saraki made this known via a tweet, adding that Buhari joked about the senator ”working late into the night as usual”.
Happy to have spoken with @NGRPresident @MBuhari tonight.
He was in good spirits and joked about my working late into the night, as usual.— Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki (@bukolasaraki) February 8, 2017
The Senate president must have made the post in order to allay fears of Nigerians concerning the health status of Buhari.
President Buhari, who was due to return to the country on Monday following a 10 days vacation, wrote to the House of Assembly demanding an extension to his leave.
