Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom has revealed why President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to return from his medical leave abroad.
Ortom, who was among the governor that recently visited the ailing president in London, said Buhari is waiting for his doctors to discharge him.
He stated those who had thought that Buhari was on life support and confined to wheelchair have been put to shame.
Speaking with newsmen upon his return from two weeks vacation, the governor said God has heard the cries of Nigerians by healing President Buhari.
Asked what is still holding back the president since God has healed him, Ortom said, “He is waiting for his doctors to advice him on when he will be back; that was our discussion. And I think he is getting very well but like I said, we appreciate God that once again, the enemies of Nigeria have been put to shame”.
“People who thought that Buhari had been confined to a wheel chair and life support were put to shame. We shook hands with him, we discussed with him and he was mentally alert about the happenings in Nigeria, we discussed about Benue State, the security situation and I explained to him that everything is calm and we’re working towards ensuring peace and harmony for everybody.
“I’m providing security for lives and property and he commended and asked me to extend his greetings to the people of Benue State. But like I said, we as Benue people prayed that Mr. President should be healed and God has answered our prayers.
“Our God is a God of the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the Alpha and Omega and so our prayer now is that God should consummate the healing so that the process will be complete. God has healed him but the process needs to be consummated. I believe that as soon as he is strong enough and the doctors advice him, he will definitely come back because he’s quite eager to come back and continue to lead the country.”
