This comes days after several claims that Buhari was sick and has been flown out of the country for treatment.
The video was to further clear the air that the president is in country and not ill as claimed by some critics online.
According to an audio in circulation online, Buhari and his Chief of Staff, Mr. Abba Kyari, were flown out of the country for treatment.
In the audio, a lady narrated how the alleged trip was arranged, claiming that she got the information about it from her friend whose husband is the pilot contacted to fly President Buhari and Mr. Kyari abroad.

A tweet, however, on the Presidency’s handle, Thursday night, described the audio as “concocted,” adding that Buhari was at work in his office that night.
It, therefore, called on Nigerians to disregard the audio, saying it is “fake news.”
