A statement by his spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina said the President is “on a short leave which is part of his annual vacation. It added said that “During the vacation, the President will also undergo routine medical check-ups.” According to Vanguard reports, the President had since the week been performing the functions of his office mostly at his official residence located within the precinct of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, rarely spending dutiful hours in the office.
