President Muhammadu Buhari has said
that he is resuming work stronger and more energetic.
The president stated this while
fielding questions from State House correspondents on Sunday at the Nnamdi
Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, after a vacation in London.
President Buhari, jokingly,
challenged one of the correspondents, who asked him of his state of health, to
a wrestling competition
.“You have seen me, you saw me when I
was going, you can do the assessment by yourself.
“You can see me inspecting the
guards of honour, if you want to wrestle me, you can do so, but you know I’m
taller than you,’’ the president told the reporter.
The president, who was clad in a
light brown kaftan with a cap to match, did not use the helicopter meant to
transport him to the presidential villa, but rather embarked on road journey.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports
that the presidential plane carrying the president landed at the Presidential
Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at about 5.32 p.m.
Members of the Federal Executive
Council, Service Chiefs, Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari and
Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase were among those who welcomed
President Buhari at the airport.
Others at the airport were Governor
Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State, Governor
Yahaya Bello of Kogi Stat and other government functionaries
