Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has stated that he has been vindicated, with the return of President Muhammadu Buhari from London.
Recall, that Buhari took off from London on Saturday morning, to return to Nigeria after 100 days of medical treatment abroad.
Speaking on NTA while waiting for the President’s arrival at the Airport, the Minister said there would be a celebration at the home of every Nigerian, over the recovery of the President.
“Well, to say I have been vindicated is an understatement. I am happy and I believe so is every Nigerian. There will be surely celebration in the home of every Nigeria today”, he said.
Asked if there will be any party to welcome the President, Mohammed jokingly said; “I heard the NTA is organizing a party, and we will join you guys to celebrate.”
Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, also expressed delight that his principal is on his way back.
He said some of Buhari’s Aides knew about the President’s return, ahead of the announcement.
“Some of us knew about his return some days back. Remember that the Acting President held on effectively, and they will continue the work together… We left the work of announcement with the managers of the Acting President”, he said.
On his part, Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State and Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Governors Forum, said that Buhari’s return will lead to the he rejuvenation of the economy.
“It is good news for Nigerians and for everyone here (at the airport), for the President to arrive and resume his duties”, he said.
“This has put paid to the various views being expressed. He has had enough time to ponder on several issues and review them.
“There are so many expectations from Nigerians. They want to know what next, and they want to see what next from him. I also want to commend the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, for being so committed and faithful to his boss; in our clime this is so rare.
“The impact is that it will rejuvenate the economy, polity. He will do a lot of restructuring and rejigging, because Nigerians are expecting a lot from him.”
Mohammed Abubakar, Bauchi State Governor, said; “The impact of his return is huge. If you look at the stock exchange you will see the impact. Not that Prof. Osinbajo did not do a good job while the President was away, but now that he is returning, you will see the impact on the economy.”
Some of those at the Airport were; Babagana Mongunno, National Security Adviser, NSA; Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity; Lauretta Onochie, Personal Assistant on Digital/Online Media.
