Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who has been in London for treatment of an undisclosed illness for more than three months, has assured a government delegation that he is doing fine.
“I am okay,” the 74-year-old leader said, according to a Saturday statement from the information ministry.
“I feel I could go home, but the doctors are in charge. I’ve now learnt to obey orders, rather than be obeyed.”
The comments came following protests in the capital Abuja demanding that Buhari “return or resign”.
“If President Buhari cannot return to Nigeria after 90 days, then he should resign and go home”, one protester said at a sit-in on Monday.
“Buhari, where are you? Nigerians want full disclosure. What is wrong with our president?” read other placards.
Buhari left for the British capital on May 7 on what is his latest medical trip.
