The Nigerian president may have returned but already, there are conflicting reports concerning his health and whether he is fit to return. In an interview today, he jokingly mentioned that he deliberately scheduled his return for a Friday, so that the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, can continue his duties. His media adviser, Femi Adesina, has said that he will hand in a formal letter to the Senate on Monday, which will allow him to return to his duties, legally.
