The Minister of Information, Mr. Lai Mohammed, has said President Muhammadu Buhari has been upfront with the nation when it comes to matters related to his health.

He said this on Wednesday after the President missed the weekly Federal Executive Council Meeting for the third time since his return from the United Kingdom where he spent 59 days on medical vacation.

The minister, who confirmed that the President worked from his office in the Presidential Villa on Tuesday, insisted that he was only following his doctor’s orders.

He said, “The President told the nation he has never been this sick and he is going to take it easy. He said it from day one when he came back from the UK.

“So whatever is happening today is not any strange development, it is exactly what he said – that he has been advised to take it easy by his doctors and that he will soon also go back for further treatment.

“I don’t think it’s anything different from what he has said. He has been quite transparent and upfront in matters concerning his health.”
