A report by Sahara Reporters indicates that President Muhammadu Buhari's return to Nigeria was put off at the last minute on Sunday, March 5 late at night.
The report cited unnamed presidency sources saying the desperation to bring the president back was so much that his close associates sent to London on Friday, March 3 the biggest jet in the presidential fleet, a Boeing Business Jet 737, known as "Airforce 001."
Their plan was to ferry him into Abuja before the closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on Wednesday, March 9.
In that connection, the smaller presidential jet which initially flew President Buhari to the United Kingdom was returned to Abuja the same day while the bigger jet was sent to London with a fresh crew. The return to Abuja last week of the president's nephew, Mammam Daura, as well as one of his daughters, all heightened the political anxiety that President Buhari would return on Sunday evening. But President Buhari’s doctors refused to give him the clean bill of health that would enable him to return. Meanwhile, President Buhari has been making phone calls to local and world leaders while receiving treatment in London.
According to the report, this strategy is aimed at keeping politicians and the public believing that the president is fully recovered from his numerous ailments, but sources involved in Buhari's treatment say he is far from recovered, and his return date, and therefore his return to work, remains unclear.
*Poor man,wanting to return home and not being able to.....I wish him soonest recovery but can he not defy Doctors orders and head home?
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

Sorry to say this, are you guys sure buari is still alive? The family and the government may be lying in order to perpetuate his regime. I won't be surprised if these postponements and "parodies" continue till 2019

Why would U.K. Hospital release him. Free money this time when things are hard. U.K. Government carry go the money spent in U.K. Wouldn't be used for any meaningful thing in the first place. Maybe they would plant few grasses for their brothers as u k don chop belle full.

Wahala dey! Nigerians need to know what's actually wrong with the president. No information, no update. Is he death or in critical condition? He might not be able to resume office. Let the vice president take over. This is the second month he is gone with no good explanation.
