The year has been a tough year for Buhari as he has been traveling around to receive treatment for an unspecified medical has condition.
In January and February, he spent almost two months in Britain and on his return in early March said he had never been as ill.

On May 7, he left for london for a second round of medical treatment giving no specific date for his return.
In his absence, he has given Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo full powers to act as head of state.
