It was Muhammadu Buhari’s second spell of medical leave this year – leading many Nigerians to question whether he was well enough to run the country.

Muhammadu Buhari, who took office in May 2015, handed over power to Vice President Osinbajo to allay concerns of a void at the helm of Africa’s biggest economy.
The president’s absence sparked numerous protests, including demands that he should resign, as well as calls for more transparency about his condition.
There has been speculation about Muhammadu Buhari’s health since June 2016, when he first went to London for treatment of what his aides said was a persistent ear infection.
Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman said he will address Nigerians on August 21.
