Osinbajo says, Buhari to return soon

Nigeria Vce-President, Yemi Osinbanjo says, President Muhammadu Buhari is "recuperating fast" and will return home "very soon".

He announced this at a press conference, after visiting President Buhari, at the London hospital where he is being treated for an unspecified illness.

Osinbajo, now in Nigeria, said he had discussed a wide range of issues during the hour-long meeting.

President Buhari has been in London since May. The 74-year-old leader was elected to power in 2015, becoming the first Nigerian opposition leader to win an election.

This is his second period of medical leave in the UK, the first began in January and he returned home in March. His long absence has led to speculation about whether he will be able to resume as president.
