Following the news that The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate in the forthcoming 2015 general elections, General Muhammadu Buhari, was back in the country being away for a while, Nigerians have taken to social media to express their feelings.
It would be recalled that General Buhari arrived in Abuja from London this morning, at about 5:45a.m., on British Airways Flight #083.
He had on February 19, 2015 left the country for London but after a long absence from the media and the public, it was speculated by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its supporters that Buhari was hospitalised in London for cancer treatment.
His return however, finally put to rest the controversy generated by his absence.
A hale and hearty Buhari said when asked by journalists if he went abroad to seek medical attention:
On whether he had visited any hospitals while holidaying in the 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.”
With the presidential election barely three weeks away, General Buhari’s return seems to have sparked big delight for his followers.

A hale and hearty Buhari said when asked by journalists if he went abroad to seek medical attention:
“I just went off for a couple of weeks to rest. That’s all I did”.
On whether he had visited any hospitals while holidaying in the 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?”
