President
Buhari today revealed why he invited Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to visit him
in London while he was there on medical leave. Osinbajo who was acting
president at the time, left Nigeria for the UK on July 11th and was back the
next day. According to President Buhari, he invited Osinbajo over to thank him for
managing the affairs of the country very well in his absence. President Buhari
disclosed this when he met state governors in Aso Rock, Abuja earlier today.
“The efforts
by the Vice President were commendable. He used his intellect to run all over
the place. I was seeing him 24 hours on the Nigerian Television Authority. I
congratulated him and I allowed him to come and see me so I can thank him
personally for what he has done.”
Speaking on
the Nigerians that staged a protest in front of the Abuja house in London,
demanding for his immediate resignation or return to Nigeria, President Buhari
said he has come back now and hopes the Nigerians who reside in the UK would
also come back home to join him in Nation building
“In fact,
some groups in London came and sang the national anthem and asked that I should
go back home. Indeed, I have come back home. I hope those who went there are
not stuck there; they will come back and join us. Those that are stuck there
with the Brexit, I hope they have weighed the implications that it won’t affect
them, including those that have property there. Those who are not paying tax
here, I hope when they sell their property there, they will bring some of the
money here. We need it very badly here.” he said
