“The president has NOT extended his ongoing 10-Working-Days vacation,” the presidency said.

President Buhari embarked on a 10-day “working vacation on August 1, 2018 and should have returned to the country on Tuesday, August 14, 2018.
The rumour was fuelled by the silence of the Buhari presidency on the former military dictator’s return upon the expiration of the 10 days.
