“We had a very good time, we had a good conversation on wide ranging issues; he is in a very good spirit. He is recuperating very quickly and he is doing very well,” Osinbajo said.
 
Speaking on the state of health of the President who has been in the UK on medical vacation for over two months, Osinbajo said, “He is in a very high spirit, he is recuperating very fast.

“We had a very long conversation, we spoke for well over an hour and his humour is there and he is doing well”.
 
When asked when President Buhari will return, the acting president said “Very very soon. I think we should expect him back very shortly because he is recuperating very fast and very very well.

“He is recuperating very fast and we expect him very shortly; more sooner perhaps than you expect,” he said.
 
The acting president, however, said he did not discuss the swearing-in of the two ministers from Gombe and Kogi states who were screened and cleared by the Nigerian Senate on May 3, 2017.
