President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that he is healthier to attend to national issues now that this year’s Ramadan fast is over.

Buhari while speaking to a delegation of lawmakers, religious leaders, cabinet members, security chiefs and presidential aides over the weekend, disclosed that he refused to abstain because he knew the benefits of fasting.

Buhari said: “I’m very grateful to the ministers and church leadership that came to say happy Eid-Filtri to those of us that have been fasting.

“A lot of people asked me if on health grounds I can default, I refused because I know the value in fasting, I cannot miss it once I can do it.

“Last year, I didn’t because I was on health vacation but this year I have done it and I thank God because it has helped me to be much more healthy; to give me the time that I need to attend to national issues.”
