thoughtful action in organising nationwide
prayers for my good health. ” It is a gesture
that I will forever cherish and treasure.
“Your Excellency will be pleased to hear that
I am making good progress, and as soon as
doctors advise, I shall return to my duties
and continue serving the Nigerian people
who elected me and are daily praying for my
recovery.
”In an earlier letter, Buhari was said to have
also accepted his nomination as leader of
the “2018 AU Theme on the Fight Against
Corruption”, which came from African
leaders at the 29th Session of the Assembly
of Heads of State and Government of the AU

for the nomination, I wish to express my
readiness to accept this new important role
and to reiterate my commitment to
contribute towards our collective efforts to
strengthen good governance and
development on the continent.
