Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari is addressing the nation after spending more than three months in London for medical treatment.
In a televised address, Buhari on Monday thanked Nigerians for their prayers and said he was pleased to be “back on home soil among my brothers and sisters.”
Buhari returned to Nigeria Saturday after a long absence that has led some to call for his replacement and for the military to remind its personnel to remain loyal.
The government of Africa’s most populous nation has never said what exactly is ailing the 74-year-old leader.
He also spent seven weeks in London for treatment earlier this this year and said he had never been so sick in his life.
Nigeria’s ongoing challenges include the deadly Boko Haram insurgency and a weak economy.
