Now Buhari is recovered, Nigeria will recover fully –Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stated that the nation’s economy will experience full recovery with the recovery, and return to Nigeria, of President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to him, “The recovery and recuperation of the President is in some sense symbolic of the recovery of Nigeria. Nigeria is going to recover.

He made the comment while speaking to State House correspondents shortly after the return of Buhari to the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“We are on the path of strong economic recovery and this is an excellent sign that the country is on the right side. There is great hope, there is great excitement and we are going to make it as a nation,” Osinbajo said.

He further asserted that the “team is good to go”, obviously referring to the executive council, and economic team of the administration.

Osinbajo noted that the number of people who thronged major streets to receive Buhari on his return, was indicative that Nigerians were very happy the president is back.

Also, President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has welcomed President Buhari back to Nigeria.

In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki thanked God for the safe return and recovery of the President, and reaffirmed the commitment of the National Assembly to continue working alongside the President in achieving objectives aimed at improving the standard of living of Nigerians and overall development of the country.

“I thank Almighty Allah for bringing President Muhammadu Buhari back whole, hale and hearty. I am thoroughly delighted that President Buhari has returned home after his medical vacation”, the Senate President said.

“I was privileged to have met him twice in London during the period of the vacation. After our first meeting, I told Nigerians there was no cause for alarm. After our recent lengthy meeting on Thursday this week, I informed Nigerians that Mr. President’s return home was imminent.

“I am confident that Mr. President will resume with even more vigour to pursue an economic agenda that will improve the welfare of all Nigerians. In this vein, Mr. President should seize this opportunity to further consolidate and strengthen his team in order to meet the challenges ahead.

“On our part, the Senate is ready to work closely with the Executive and bend over backwards to support Mr. President. I congratulate all Nigerians on Mr. President’s return”.

He also thanked Acting President Yemi Osinbajo for his hard work in holding forte and steering the ship of governing the nation during this period.
