President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to return to Nigeria tomorrow, Friday March 10, 2017, his spokesman, Femi Adesina said in a statement on Thursday evening.


But he did not state the specific time the president would arrive.

With the Abuja airport already closed for repair works on its runway, it is believed that the president would likely land at the Kaduna International Airport.

Buhari left the country on January 19, 2017, for a vacation, during which he had routine medical check-ups. The holiday was extended based on doctors’ recommendation for further tests and rest.

“President Buhari expresses appreciation to teeming Nigerians from across the country, and beyond, who had prayed fervently for him, and also sent their good wishes,” Adesina said.
