We pray that God continues to see him through this period of recuperation,” the presidency said.

The group said it would mobilize Nigerians to compel President Buhari to officially transmit power to the vice president.
The CSO said instead of staying away from work, President Buhari should feel free to travel abroad for medical attention if the need be.
