“I am feeling much better now. There may however be need to have further follow-ups within some weeks,” he told reporters on Friday after his return.

“I have rested as much as humanly possible; I have received the best of treatment I can receive.

“I couldn’t recall ever being so sick since I was a real young man including the military goings ups and downs,” he added.

Buhari also said that Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo would continue to govern so he could get some more rest.

“I deliberately came back towards the weekend so that the vice-president will continue and I will continue to rest,” he said.
