Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, on Tuesday, said the medical tests of President Muhammadu Buhari showed he needed more time to rest.
Buhari, who has been on vacation in the United Kingdom since January 19, was scheduled to return to the country on February 6.
But a day before the scheduled time, Adesina announced that the president had extended his stay because he was awaiting results of his tests.
Adesina said the president thanked all Nigerians for their prayers.
“President Muhammadu Buhari thanks millions of Nigerians who have been sending good wishes and praying for his health and well-being in mosques and churches throughout the country,” he said.
“The president is immensely grateful for the prayers, show of love and concern.”
Adesina also said, “Buhari wishes to reassure Nigerians that there is no cause for worry.”
“During his normal annual checkup, tests showed he needed a longer period of rest, necessitating the president staying longer than originally planned,” he added.
Senate President Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of representatives, who both visited the president in London last week, said he was well and “in high spirits”.

Liars… since when does medical test dictate cure instead of the disease in question? Adesina please we have the right to be respected !
From “he is not sick and not in any hospital” to “he is awaiting test results” to “he is well and in high spirits” now it’s “medical tests show he needs more time to rest” bla bla bla. Too many stories….. Well, Osinbajo, just continue and do well please!
We are waiting for the day he will be back
There goes our hopes of change..
He has a medieval Caliphate education. He does not know the different between Arabic Caliphate and Western Democratic President.
Yes. He present toilette tissue as Certificate and that is what we got for a President.
This is all Hausa have to offer.
Until the cabal of Nigerian Military officers above 70 dies and go fly away, it will be difficult to lift Nigeria up form the Abbys.

This is all a mess- I hear that Nigeria is now being ruled by remote control by a committee of the cabal- leaving Osibanjo as a toothless bull dog
Nigerians should be saying prayers to Allah for a quick recovery of our President not casting aspersions and throwing inuendos
We’ve had enough of these dead Presidents- when will somebody who is alive come to rescue Nigeria
We have President that is missing in action for more than 1 month and has not been declared incapacitated- we are looking at another Yaradua fiasco here
Buhari gave us the worst economy and the worst currency exchange in Nigeria’s history- that is truly Changi!
Nigerians are the most unlucky people in the world when it come to- leadership, all we get is the very scum, the worst all the time
This is another Yoruba/northern conspiracy in the making
