But, a source from the Presidency told SaharaReporters that, “It is a medical leave because the so-called private visit is for the President to see his doctors in France.”

The other was weeks before his inauguration on the 29th of May 2023.
“He is returning to France to see his doctors ahead of the stress of the inauguration period so he can prepare for his swearing-in,” a top source in the ruling All Progressives Congress had told the newspaper.
