Punch reports that the possibility of providing daily bulletin/update on the President’s health has been ruled out by sources in the Federal Government.

It was further reported that sources stressed that there was no need for such updates since Buhari had handed over to the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, who is now the acting President.

The minister of information, Lai Mohammed as well as media aides to President Buhari, Garba Shehu and Femi Adesina are yet to release any statement on the health of the president since he left Nigeria on Sunday, May 7, 2017.

President Buhari travelled to London last Sunday, almost two months after he returned from three months long medical treatment.

He had first left the country for London on January 19, 2017 and returned on March 10, 2017, in what would be his longest medical trip ever so far.

There had been overwhelming calls for the Federal Government to make the President’s health status public after the President confessed that he had never been that sick in his life upon his return from last medical vacation.
