ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who travelled to Britain for a holiday and treatment for an ear infection, is very well but will extend his break until Sunday, the vice president said on Thursday. "He is in perfect health and ready to resume work on Monday morning," Yemi Osinbajo told reporters in the capital, Abuja. The 73-year-old former military ruler flew to London to see an ear, nose and throat specialist after being examined by two doctors in Nigeria who "recommended further evaluation, purely as a precaution".
