President Muhammadu Buhari and VP Osibanjo
President Buhari alongside his deputy, Professor Yemi Osinbajo have both made history following his extended medical vacation in Europe.
Today marks President Muhammadu Buhari’s 100th day’s absence from
office, having embarked on a medical vacation to treat a yet-to-be
disclosed ailment in London.
As he was leaving the country on May 7 for the second round of
overseas treatment, Mr. President handed the reins of power to his
deputy, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who has since become the Acting President.
Because of his 100-day absence from office, Buhari has not only
become the first incumbent head of state to have spent an extended
number of days outside his domain, Osinbajo has also made history as the
first Acting President, globally, to clock 100 days in office.
The world over, most office holders mark the first 100 days in
office to showcase their modest achievements within three months of
coming to office, and to also engage with the citizens to know their
aspirations and thoughts about the office holder.
Buhari and his deputy have therefore made an unusual history.
