Nigeria’s president will spend three months working from home
after his office was damaged by rats.
The presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, who granted an
interview to BBC, was quoted as saying the office required
renovation after damage was done to the furniture and air
conditioning in Buhari’s absence.
He told the BBC the president had a “well-equipped” office at
home that he could work “perfectly” from.
President Buhari returned to Nigeria on Saturday, but did not
reference his health in his first speech.
Some Nigerians had called for him to resign during his prolonged
absence, saying he was unfit to run the country.
Others were angered by officials’ refusal to disclose what Mr
Buhari was being treated for.
He first travelled to London in June 2016 for what his office
said was a persistent ear infection. He returned in January and May
this year for an undisclosed illness.
Opposition politicians have claimed he was actually receiving
treatment for prostate cancer – an accusation Mr Buhari denied.
“There’s nothing at all to worry about as to the condition of
his own health. From everything we have seen from the president –
we have a new Buhari: energetic, well focused and it is clear he is
enjoying excellent health,” Shehu told the BBC’s Focus on Africa
programme.
“He has recovered, so there is nothing to talk about in any
speech.”
Many users of Nigerian social media have cast doubt on the
reason given for Mr Buhari working from home.
