NaijaBet opens betting on when Buhari will return

NaijaBet, one of the betting sites domiciled in Nigeria, has
opened a cash-making opportunity for Nigerians to place a bet on
when President Muhammadu Buhari will return to Nigeria.

The betting website says Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has
promised that the president will return very soon, asking “how soon
is soon”.

President Buhari has been out of the country for 86 days, and is
expected to return to the country soon due to constitutional
requirements, while some others argue that the 90-day requirement
being quoted is not tenable in Buhari’s case.

Osinbajo had however hinted that the president may not return
within the 90 days, saying “no, no” when asked about the 90-day
deadline.

“Deadlines aren’t very good things but as I said, he is
recuperating fast. We are expecting him very shortly. Much sooner
than you will expect,” he had said.

The president who travelled on May 7, on a second medical
vacation in 2017, is said to be doing very well, after receiving
delegations from with the states and federal governments.

Osinbajo, who visited the president in London in July, said the
president is in very high spirit, and would be back very soon.

Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa Ibom state, who also visited the
president in July, said God has healed him.

“Let me thank God for the life of the president and thank God
for Nigerians too. And also appreciate Nigerians who have prayed
sincerely and earnestly for Mr President and I think God has actual
answered the prayers of Nigerians,” Emmanuel had said.

“From what you could see from the photographs, you could see
that God has actually answered our prayers, so some of us were
quite excited to see Mr President welcomed us, discussed with us
and he was also happy to see us.

“So what you are seeing both on TV and newspapers are genuine
and correct. God has actually healed our President and we thank God
for that”.
