Former Abia state governor, Orji Kalu, has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari would return to Nigeria before June 11, 2017.
Speaking with airport correspondents at the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos, Kalu said he was in London last week to get first-hand knowledge of the state of health of the President.
He insisted that there was nothing special about the ill-health of President Buhari, saying that anyone could fall sick at anytime.
He called on Nigerians to pray for quick recovery of the President.
“President Buhari is sincerely committed to putting the country in its supposed shape. I’m convinced he is committed to moving our country forward”, Kalu said.
Kalu said, “I am excited over the state of health of President Buhari despite the hate messages people were spreading about him. I am disappointed with the statement coming from some Nigerians about the health of Mr President.
“The messages some Nigerians have been spreading in the social media is unhealthy. I am calling on Nigerians to have a change of heart. Being a president does not mean you cannot be sick. There must be good sense of tolerance among the ethnic groups, we are all one,” he said.
Kalu insisted that it was wrong to embark on any assessment of the duties of Acting President Yemi Osinbajo who, he said, is carrying out his constitutional duties.
He also commended Buhari’s administration, saying that the government had performed well in the fight against insurgency and the war against corruption.
He, however, emphasised that the government should obey constitutional provisions as it affects the judicial arm of government.
