Contrary to general belief of some Nigerians about the health status of President Muhammadu Buhari currently in a London Hospital for medical treatment, the Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, yesterday said that the President, who was recuperating very fast would return from medical vacation before the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Lalong, who is one of the nine-member committee set up by the APC to articulate the party’s position on restructuring of the polity, expressed optimism that President Buhari would be present during the party convention.

The governor expressed this optimism during the swearing-in ceremony of the Management Committee Chairmen and Secretaries of the 17 Local Government Areas of the state, held at the Government House, Rayfield, Jos, the state capital.

He said the cheering news about the recuperation of the President had continued to cause more apprehension for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which had been celebrating the Supreme Court judgement of the party and the absent of the President from the country.
