Controversy has surrounded the day President Buhari who has been out of the country for 86 days, will arrive from his medical vacation in the UK.
Several government functionaries, who visited Buhari had said he would return soon without saying the exact date of the president’s return.
Speculations surrounding Buhari’s imminent return were heightened earlier in the week when the presidential jet that has been on standby in the United Kingdom since May 7 reportedly left London.
Reaction has also trailed the decision of the betting website to give gamblers opportunity to place betting on the day the President will return, with some condemning the move.
Reacting to the condemnation, Naijabet in a tweet on Thursday wrote, “We would just like to put this on record, Nigerians want their president back, we are only trying to voice the yearning of the people via the little platform we have.”
