While he was away, vice president, Yemi Osinbajo has been in an acting capacity quietly running affairs of governance, even as he presided over the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings.
The president had written to the National Assembly, informing the lawmakers of his medical trip, and that Osinbajo would be in charge while he was away.
It would be the second time Buhari would be embarking on a vacation since his assumption of power on May 29, 2015.
