Popular entertainer Charley Boy Oputa, who has been rallying for the President to resume work via his #ResumeOrResign campaign has written an open letter to him via Instagram.
“We are glad that you have finally returned to the country our dear president.
“We are glad that you listened to the yearnings of patriotic Nigerians who consider your prolonged absence from the country an aberration.
“Indeed, you are a man who listens to his people.
“Now that you are back, Mr. President, please get back to work immediately.
“We want you to immediately tackle the various security issues in the country.
“We want you to take a decisive step in tackling the myriad of secessionist agitations in the country.
“Finally, Mr. President, many Nigerians are still suffering in abject penury and most of our youths are jobless and roaming the streets hopelessly and helplessly.
“We would like you to take a decisive step to bring succour to Nigerians who want you to deliver on your mandate as regards these pertinent issues.
“Once again Mr. President, welcome back. We wish you good health and a successful reign.
“Thank you for resuming back to work. We love you. Our Mumu Don Do!

Meanwhile, a civil society organization, ‘Partners for Electoral Reform (PEF)’, has called on the National Assembly to use ongoing constitutional review to provide for time duration that a President could be absent from duty.
The call followed President Muhammadu Buhari’s return to Nigeria after 103 days in London for medical treatment.
Chairman of the group, Ezenwa Nwagwu, made the call in an interview on Saturday in Abuja.
He said the protest for Mr. Buhari to “resume or resign” which was carried out while he was away, was unnecessary, but that the constitutional lapse thrown up by his long absence needed to be addressed.
“Our constitution never contemplated the situation where the president will be away for a long time without defining clearly how long that can be.
“Yes, the president never broke any law by staying away for the period he did; he followed the constitutional path but his absence for so long was the issue.
“The lacuna in our Constitution is one in which we will have to deal with. If we don’t deal with it today we will have to deal with it in the future.
“This is because the deep question will be that if a president is inaugurated and falls ill after; can he just transmit power and stay away for any length of time? Mr. Nwagwu asked.
He, however, said it was a thing of joy that President Buhari had returned, and prayed that God would sustain his recovery to enable him to take charge of governance.
He added that the president’s recovery and return had punctured the lies being peddled that he was in coma.
