The president left Nigeria on January 19 for a
10-day vacation, but that was extended indefinitely when he sent a letter to
the National Assembly asking for more time.
GIS has reported on the nature of the
president’s illness and the struggle within the president’s inner cycle to get
back into the country despite medical advice against a quick return.
Aso Rock insiders have been worried that the
longer the president remained out of the country, the greater the rumors about
his closely-guarded condition.
