Impeccable family and Presidential sources told Pointblanknews.com that
should the President make it back to Nigeria earlier, he would be confined
to the house as he would not be able to discharge his official
responsibilities.
“The President needs about three months to fully recover. If he returns
back earlier than that like some people want him to, he won’t be able to
perform his duties because he needs time to fully recover,” a source told
pointblanknews.com.
President Buhari is currently at the Abuja House, London, receiving
Chemotherapy and other treatments, according to a family source of the
President who prefers to be anonymous.

President of Nigeria.
Sources confirmed that while visits of the Senate President, Bukola
Saraki, Speaker Yakubu Dogara and others were arranged for photo-ups to
