The absence of President Muhammadu Buhari from the country has caused a lot of speculations within Nigeria’s political caucus with many showing concerns about his health status and the nation as a whole.
President Buhari chilling in London.
Ever since the president extended his leave indefinitely, many Nigerians became befuddled. The nation no doubt needs her leader in order to know where to go from here. Although, the president before leaving Nigeria assigned all duties to
the vice president, Nigerians still feel like they need to know what s going on with him.
Nigeria recorded so many events while the president was away; some principal office holders had life-changing events that made President Buhari reach out to them in his ‘ghost mode’. Many Nigerians faulted this as they found it weird that the president would call to console a bereaved official while Nigerians want to see him address them in order to quell their fears.
Over the past few weeks that he has been away, some officials have received calls from him while some took the pain to go visit him in London. It is perceived that the president’s best means of reaching out to his home country is through phone calls.
The presidential media team received a call from President Buhari over the weekend. The information minister was said to have spoken with the president within that period too. President Buhari has been reaching out to some of his loyal executives in order to reassure them of his sound health.
Since some key officials have received calls from the head of the nation, it is just a matter of time before the others get to hear from him too. If this happens, check out the prominent Nigerians that are most likely to hear from him soon:
1. Abiola Ajimobi
Ajimobi is the current governor of Oyo state. The state governor is most likely to be on the list of those the president will be reaching out to next. He organized a praying session in his state for the citizens to pray for the safe return president.
Both the Muslim and Christian faithfuls gathered at the Lekan Salami Sports complex in Adamasingba to pray for the Nigerian leader.
They also prayed for the development of the nation. In appreciation of this, the state governor may receive a call from the president soon.
2. Olusegun Obasanjo
The former Nigerian leader is an ardent supporter of the present administration. He disclosed recently that President Buhari had never failed him since he was sworn in as the nation’s leader in 2015.
Obasanjo’s 80th birthday is March 5, and with his position in this nation, President Buhari will put a call through to him either on or before that day.
3. John Oyegun
This is the national chairman of the ruling party which the president belongs to. Oyegun had been silent over the health status of the president even though they are members of the same party. There is a high likelihood that the president will call him soon to know the situation report.
4. Godwin Emiefele
The CBN governor could receive a call from the president following the revival of Naira as against dollar. Naira gained over 12 percent within four days of the action taken with the Forex market.
The president may put a call through to him to appreciate his effort with the lost glory given to the currency.
5. Babachir Lawal
This is the secretary to the government of the federation. Ever since the president went to the UK, he had been the one monitoring the activities at home and keeping an eye on the trouble makers.
6. Nasir El-Rufai
The governor of Kaduna may hear from the president soon because of the ongoing crisis in his state. The state governor has been quiet on the president’s health; there is a high chance that he will speak with him soon.
