Govs Amosun, El-Rufai and others with President Buhari at the Juma’at prayers recently

President Muhammadu Buhari was on Friday absent at the Juma’at service held inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The President has been joining Muslim faithful for the prayers inside a mosque near his office since he stopped attending the service at the National Mosque, Abuja.

Three state governors who had planned to join Buhari for the prayers were however present.

They are Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara) and Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano).

No official reason has been given for the President’s absence at the prayer session.

Recall that on Thursday the President had attempted to assure Nigerians that there is no cause for alarm over Buhari’s health.
