President Muhammadu Buhari has spoken from the UK where he is currently on a 10-day vacation which included medical checkup.
There has been a rumour of Buhari’s death by some fake news websites but the Presidency had since released pictures of Buhari who appeared healed and hearty.
On Tuesday, Buhari commiserated with Solomon Dalung, minister of youth and sports, over the death of Briskila, his wife via a phone call from London.
She died in Jos, the capital of Plateau state, after a brief illness, on Sunday.
Special assistant to the minister on media, Nneka Anibeze, said Buhari reached Dalung on phone from London.
Anibeze said the president prayed that God will grant the soul of the departed eternal rest.
He also prayed to God to give the family she left behind the fortitude to bear the loss.
Announcing his condolence to Dalung, Buhari said; “I spoke with Sports Minister, Barrister Dalung, to commiserate with him on the death of his wife, Briskila. May her soul Rest In Peace.”
Buhari is expected to return to the country next week
