Apprehension as Buhari Misses Friday's Juma'at Service in Aso Villa...See Details

'

 

President Muhammadu Buhari was on Friday absent at the Juma’at service held inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Punch reports.

 

His absence might not be unrelated with his lingering health issues. The President has been joining Muslim faithful for the prayers inside a mosque near his office since he stopped attending the service at the National Mosque, Abuja.

 

Three state governors who apparently planned to join Buhari for the prayers were however present.

 

The governors who attended the prayer session included Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun); Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara); and Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano).

 

The Presidency is yet to comment on the reasons for Buhari's absence.

 

The news of his absence has seen many speculating that the President might be experiencing health challenges.
