Nigeria's Buhari Not To Return This Weekend -presidency Sources

ABUJA, June 10 (Reuters) - Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari
will not return home from medical leave in Britain at the
weekend, presidency sources said on Saturday, having previously
told Reuters the ailing leader would be returning by then.
Buhari's doctors said they will need to carry out testing on him
on Monday, and the test results will determine when he returns
to Nigeria, the sources said.
The president's undisclosed ailment has left his deputy, Yemi
Osinbajo, in charge. While the vice president has been praised
for his activity in Buhari's absence, pressure has been mounting
on the government to sign off on key decisions such as the 2017
budget.
On Friday, the speaker of the lower chamber of parliament said
the budget would be signed into law the following week, after
months of delays despite promises for it to be passed before
May.
Nigeria's president, whose official age is given as 74,
travelled to Britain last month for what his office described as
medical tests. Officials have refused to disclose details of his
condition. His first absence began in January and lasted nearly
two months.
