Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari – who returned to Nigeria on Friday after seven weeks of medical leave in London – is due to return to to work today.
On Friday the Nigerian leader said he had never before been “so sick” but did not reveal details about his condition, although he did say further medical checks would be necessary.
Critics have questioned whether Mr Buhari is well enough to hold office and his public appearances are set to be scrutinised for any signs of physical weakness.
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was left in charge while he was away and the BBC’s Martin Patience in Lagos says Mr Osinbajo showed an energy as acting leader that was strikingly different to President Buhari’s own style.
Mr Buhari’s assistant Bashir Ahmad tweeted that the president would send a letter to the National Assembly to “formally notify the legislature of his return to the country”.
