President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday met behind closed doors
with government officials including Vice-President Yemi Osibanjo and some
presidential aides as he formally resumed duties in the Presidential Villa,
Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that presidential
aides including the Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari, and the
President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, were among
the early callers at the president’s office.
Alhaji Kawu Sumaila, the Senior Special Assistant on
National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives) was also in the
President’s office to collect Letter of Resumption of duties for onward
transmission to the National Assembly.
Osinbajo, who received the President on arrival from London
on Saturday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, also met behind
closed doors with President Buhari in his office for about two hours.
Gov. Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State was also sighted
moving towards the president’s office.
NAN reliably learnt the President may be receiving more
visitors including some service chiefs and cabinet ministers who are expected
to brief him on developments in their respective ministries, departments and
agencies.
Buhari, who returned to Abuja Saturday on after a successful
medical vacation in London, had earlier on Monday addressed Nigerians in a
nationwide broadcast where he reassured that his administration would continue
to ensure Nigeria’s unity.
