The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), is back in Nigeria, after being away for over a week.
He arrived in Abuja from London this morning, at about 5:45a.m., on British Airways Flight #083.
Despite the fact that his flight landed very early in the morning, Buhari, who looked hale and hearty was received by a large crowd at Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport.
He spoke very briefly to journalists before heading for a waiting car that took him away.
Buhari told reporters he was physically and mentally fit.
Asked whether he went abroad to seek medical attention, Buhari said he took some time off the campaigns to get some rest.
“I just went off for a couple of weeks to rest. That’s all I did”, he said.
On whether he ever visited any hospital while holidaying in UK, he said: “What is wrong for me to go the hospital? Am I not here now? Aren’t you seeing me? Are you seeing a sick man?”
Reacting to an observation that his absence had cost his party a lot in the campaign, Buhari said: “I don’t think so. One man does not make a party.”
