After Femi Adesina, special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity, announced that his principal will return to the country “later today”, some Nigerians started discussing the issue on social media.

Buhari has been receiving medical treatment in the UK since May 7.

Here are some on Twitter:

As President Buhari returns to Nigeria this morning, the #ResumeOrResign crowd have been put out of business. They should find another cause

One rebrand they did of Buhari during his illness is that he has gone from "grim and military" to a guy with a "great sense of humour"

Well, Buhari is due to arrive today. Any linkage to protests in London? Well done to all those who kept the pressure on. Democracy. https://t.co/wIiiSzI52G

The very simple question that no one has answered is: "What is ailing President Buhari?"

Is it cancer?
Dementia?
Malaria?

What?

So, just one night of #ReturnOrResume in London has sent Buhari back home

Lol…

I knew Buhari hates international embarrassment

Does Buhari intend to revamp Nigeria Healthcare based on the quality of care he received? #BuhariReturns
Just asking for a friend!
