This was stated by President Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Sunday on the sidelines of an interactive session with some Nigerian youths, organised by the Citizens Support for Good Governance in Nigeria.
Following the continued stay of President Buhari in London over one month, having left the country to the United Kingdom on January 19, many Nigerians have continued to demand that he address the citizens.
Pictures of many notable Nigerians like the national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu, Senate President Bukola Saraki, Speaker Yakubu Dogara among others taken with the president and circulated in the media, have not done much to reduce the demand from Nigerians to hear directly from the president.
When the group on Sunday asked if the presidency does not think it wise to get him to talk directly to Nigerians through Nigerian media, Shehu, replied that the suggestion would be forwarded to the president to see if he would accept to do that.

He said, ‘’Okay, if you are making a suggestion, we will put it to him, in case he would agree.
Shehu also reacted to the positive steps Osinbajo has reportedly made since the President embarked on an indefinite vacation and allegations of a cabal trying to hijack government activities.
He said, ‘’this country has one government. When Nigerians voted, they voted for Buhari/Osinbajo on one ticket. Nobody can divide that ticket, so if Prof. Osinbajo achieves a milestone, it is a milestone by the Buhari administration. It is one government, no division in this government.’’
He, therefore, urged Nigerians to be grateful to President Buhari, who according to him, halted the menacing advance of the Boko Haram terrorists, “who by now might have overran the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock.”
