The Federal Government of Nigeria on Wednesday kept mute on the actual date President Muhammadu Buhari will return to the country even after the expiration of the 14 days the Presidency originally announced.
Recall that Buhari had on Tuesday, 30 March 2021 departed Nigeria for a routine medical checkup in the United Kingdom.
According to a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina at that time, he had said that President Buhari is due back in the country during the second week of April 2021.

‘He is due back in the country during the second week of April 2021,‘ Adesina had said in the statement which was made available to newsmen.
However, Minister of information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, when asked if the President was expected back into the country this week, surprisingly retorted, ‘Today is Wednesday, this week finishes on Saturday. So, what’s the big issue in that one?’
Mohammed spoke to newsmen after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday.
According to him, the government was currently more concerned with the issue of the dwindling security bedeviling the country.
The President has been in the UK since March 30th when he left the country.
