President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday showed up at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa mosque for the Friday Juma’at prayers.
Dressed in white baba riga, the President made an entry to the mosque facing a crowd of journalists waiting to capture his appearance.
According to reports, the President was seen waving and exchanging pleasantries with well-wishers and other worshipers.
His appearance at the mosque is expected to douse the tension in the polity after concerns about his health which has made him unable to make any public appearance.
The ailing President set a record on 1st May 2017 when Nigeria for the first time in its history witnessed a workers’ day celebration without a presidential broadcast, fuelling rumors about the President’s unstable health.
President Buhari was scheduled to receive his Niger counterpart Mahamadou Issoufou today, the visit was however rescheduled last night.
