President Muhammadu Buhari is \u201crecuperating fast\u201d and will return home \u201cvery soon\u201d, says Nigeria\u2019s acting head of state Yemi Osinbajo.<\/p>\n

He made the announcement at a press conference on Wednesday morning, after visiting Mr Buhari at the London hospital where he is being treated for an unspecified illness.<\/p>\n

Mr Osinbajo, now back in Nigeria, said he had discussed a wide range of issues during the hour-long meeting.<\/p>\n

\n

Mr Buhari has been in London since May.<\/p>\n

The 74-year-old leader was elected to power in 2015, becoming the first Nigerian opposition leader to win an election.<\/p>\n

It is his second period of medical leave in the UK, the first began in January and he returned home in March.<\/p>\n

His long absence has led to speculation about whether he will be able to resume his presidential duties.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Nigeria\u2019s first lady Aisha Buhari launched a cryptic attack, apparently aimed at powerful ruling party politicians suspected of manoeuvring for the presidency or deputy presidency while her husband was ill.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post, Mrs Buhari warned that \u201chyenas and jackals\u201d would be banished.<\/p>\n

The vice-president has been acting in Mr Buhari\u2019s place while he is out of the country, but there is no suggestion he is part of any plot against the leader, says the BBC\u2019s Naziru Mikailu.<\/p>\n

Mrs Buhari\u2019s comments came in response to a post from Senator Shehu Sani, who warned that people were \u201cscheming\u2026 so that they can be kings\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cPrayers for the absent Lion King has waned,\u201d he wrote. \u201cNow the hyenas and the jackals are scheming and talking to each other in whispers; still doubting whether the Lion King will be back or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Mrs Buhari appeared to calm any concerns \u2013 suggesting her husband, positioned as the defender of the \u201cweaker animals\u201d, was on the mend.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod has answered the prayers of the weaker animals, the hyenas and jackals will soon be sent out the kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
