Yesterday, 15th August, 2017 marked President Muhammadu Buhari’s 100th day’s absence from office, having embarked on a medical vacation to treat a yet-to-be disclosed ailment in London.
As he was leaving the country on 7th May, 2017 for the second round of overseas treatment, Buhari handed the reins of power to his deputy, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who has since become the Acting President.
Because of his 100-day absence from office, Buhari has set a world record as the first incumbent head of state to have spent an extended number of days outside his country.
SIGNAL presents here a series of tweets that capture the outrage, lamentations and frustration of a nation denied the presence and leadership of its elected President.
Only somebody who is under a spell or mentally challenged will defend Buhari’s 100days so called medical leave, we don’t even his ailment

So Buhari has been away for 100 days. We definitely need some type of resume or resign law because this doesn’t make any sense.

I remember the 100 days in office milestone of Buhari. Now here we are remembering another milestone of 100 days out of office.
Wonderment.

Let us get this straight, if you think there is any sensible reason why Buhari has been absent for 100+ days you are very stupid
