He was briefed on Saturday afternoon at his residence in the statehouse, Abuja.
According to President Buhari’s aide on Social Media, he said that President Buhari is receiving briefings from Minister of Health and Director-General of @NCDCgov on Nigeria’s fight against #COVID19 pandemic at his residence, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Recall that Buhari was in his office on Wednesday before it was fumigated on Thursday.
He worked from home on Thursday and Friday.
He is expected back in the office next week, although no specific date has been given.
Buhari’s appearance on Saturday might put an end to speculations on his whereabouts and health status, although presidential handlers expect the rumour mills to remain busy.
