Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has missed his third successive Cabinet meeting. Information Lai Mohammed says the president’s resting. There are growing concerns about a leadership vacuum in Africa’s most populous country.

Nigerian first lady Aisha Buhari says her husband is working from home where he’s seeing ministers.

Buhari himself said he’d never felt so ill after returning from seven weeks in Britain where he receive treatment for an undisclosed illness.

The President has not been seen in public for more than a week.

Business-friendly Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is standing in for his leader.
