Nigeria's
President Muhammadu Buhari has missed his third cabinet meeting in a row amid
ongoing questions about the state of his health.
There are concerns about a
leadership vacuum as one of Africa's largest economies struggles to pulls
itself out of recession, correspondents say.
Information Minister Lai
Mohammed said Mr Buhari "needed to rest".
In March, Mr Buhari returned
from seven weeks of sick leave in the UK where he was treated for an
undisclosed illness.
When he returned home he
said he had never been so ill in his life.
To calm fears, the president's
wife Aisha Buhari tweeted on
Tuesday that her husband was not as sick as is being perceived.
But as he has not been seen in
public for more than a week, Nigerians are continuing to discuss the issue.
