Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday sent a letter to the country’s Senate, informing the legislators that he will be proceeding on a 10-day leave.
Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki on Thursday read the letter at the plenary, in which Buhari said while he proceeds on leave, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo would be president in acting capacity.
“While I am away, the Vice President performs the functions of my office. Please, accept the assurances of my highest regards.”
