In a related development, Bishop Martins Uzoukwu who is the catholic bishop of Minna Diocese in Niger state has called on Nigerians to pray for the recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The president had gone on a 10-day working vacation in the UK and was supposed to return on Monday, February 6.
Vanguard reports that Uzoukwu spoke on Sunday, February 5 where he called on Nigerians to pay for the president in the face of problems the country was going through.
Meanwhile, the Presidency has explained why there is no date mentioned for the return of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Femi Adesina, a special adviser to the president on media and publicity, told the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) in an interview that this was so because there is "no vacuum in government".
Adesina said that since there was Yemi Osinbajo in place as acting president, Buhari could take as much time as needed for an adequate rest.
