Buhari’s 8-month sickness impeded his performance – Femi Adesina

Our reporter/ President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight-month sickness in 2017 affected the performance of his administration, presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina said on Monday.

Adesina made the disclosure during Channels Television’s Politics Today where he highlighted the accomplishments and legacy of the Buhari government.

Asked whether the sickness was a setback, Adesina said: “It should be because when he fell sick in January 2017, he came back in March (and) went again in April and didn’t come back till August 19″, Adesina said in response to whether sickness affected the president’s performance.

“About all, eight months. That sickness took eight months of his time in the office. Of course, nobody would like that. But what we are glad about is that he came whole, sound and better than he went.”
