President Buhari has been out of Nigeria since January 19 when he travelled to London for a 10-day medical vacation.
The president was due to resume on February 6, but he wrote the Senate on February 5 to extend his vacation indefinitely.
In the letter, Buhari wrote that he would not return to the country until his doctors rule out “certain factors.”
