President Muhammadu Buhari who has reportedly made immense improvements in the last couple of weeks after spending 93 days on medical vacation in London, has allegedly said that he may resign if he fails to recover fully to resume his duties.

President Muhammadu Buhari has given a timeline that he may resign
by a specific time if he doesn’t recover from his undisclosed illness.
Buhari left Nigeria for London on May 7 to attend to his failing
health and since then, his deputy, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has been
acting in his stead.
Speaking with The Independent on Tuesday, a credible source in the
presidency said though the president has made immense improvements in
the last couple of weeks, he was reported to have told his close aides
recently that if he doesn’t recover by a specific date, he will tender
his resignation letter.
He, however, failed to disclose the specific date or month given by the president.
He added that contrary to the views by many, the president is not
desperate to cling on to power but he is being advised by doctors to
continue with the treatment while Acting President Yemi Osinbajo
presides over the affairs of the nation.
He also confirmed that though some aides of the president tried to
bypass the acting president in order to get to the president, the
president directed them to relate with the acting president who is
presently in charge of the affairs of the nation.
He attested to the fact that the decision of the president to
direct all state matters to the acting president has greatly contributed
to the remarkable progress the president has made in the last couple of
weeks.
“The president is not desperate to cling on to power if his
health cannot carry him. I can tell you authoritatively that he has
given a timeline that if he doesn’t recover fully on a specific date, he
will file in his resignation letter and if you know President Buhari
very well, he meant what he said.
“That is why Nigerians who love the president and his efforts
in restoring Nigeria’s lost glory should continue to pray for his quick
recovery. It will be to our disservice if he dies as some people are
wishing him”, he said.
Another reliable source revealed that when the president was
transmitting the second letter of his medical vacation to the leadership
of the National Assembly intimating it of his trip to London, he wanted
to transmit a letter of resignation but a retired General from Taraba
prevailed on him not to do so.
Femi Adesina had said “the length of the president’s stay in London will be determined by the doctors” after transmitting “letters
about the trip to the Senate and the House of Representatives, in
compliance with Section 145 (1) of the 1999 constitution”.
Also speaking, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, former Minister of
Transport and member of the Board of Trustees of the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP), said it doesn’t serve anybody’s interest if President
Buhari resigns. According to him, instead of demanding for the
president’s resignation, Nigerians should pray for him to return and do
his job.
He said the PDP wants Buhari to recover quickly and seek
re-election in 2019, adding that the PDP will trounce the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) if it presents the president as its
flagbearer in the 2019 elections.
“I don’t think we should compound Nigeria’s problem by asking
for the president’s resignation. First of all, it is not of his own
making that he is sick. All of us must have been sick at one time or
the other. If we want to help Nigeria succeed, let us pray for him to
recover and come back to do his job.
“We in the PDP are not bothered by his resignation at all. We
are even praying that he should come back and re-contest in 2019 because
we know that we are going to beat him. But it doesn’t serve anybody’s
interest to ask him to resign. Those doing so are just wasting their
time”, he said.
