According to a statement from Femi Adesina, Buhari has written to the National Assembly on Sunday, February 5, 2017, informing of his desire to extend his leave in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors.

Adesina further said that President Buhari had planned to return to Abuja this evening, but was advised to complete the test cycle before returning.

The notice has since been dispatched to the Senate President, and Speaker, House of Representatives.
