President Muhammadu Buhari has proceeded on his two weeks medical trip to the United Kingdom with the assurance that he was leaving Nigeria in capable hands.
Buhari spoke in an interview with State House correspondents shortly before departing for the United Kingdom on Sunday.
Speaking at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, Buhari said his absence from the country would not affect the running of government as the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), would be assisted by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, as well as his Chief of Staff, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, in running the country.
He said: “Well, I cannot claim to be doing the work alone.
“The government is fully represented – the Vice-President is there, constitutionally when I’m away he’s in charge.
“And the Secretary to the Government and then the Chief of Staff.
“So, no problem.”
