Don't expect PMB back anytime soon - Presidency

President Muhammadu Buhari needs more time to rest. So don't expect him back in town anytime soon.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adeshina said in a statement he issued on Tuesday said that further medical tests indicated that the president needed more time to rest and as such would not be returning as early as expected.

Adeshina also said that President Buhari thanked Nigerians for their prayers in mosques and churches across the country.

"President Muhammadu Buhari thanks millions of Nigerians who have been sending good wishes and praying for his health and well-being in mosques and churches throughout the country.

"The President is immensely grateful for the prayers, show of love and concern. President Buhari wishes to reassure Nigerians that there is no cause for worry.

"During his normal annual checkup, tests showed he needed a longer period of rest, necessitating the President staying longer than originally planned."
