Buhari, who was due to return to the country and resume work on Monday, extended his vacation in the UK over health related issue.
Punch reports that the Archbishop while fielding questions from newsmen on the cancelled return of the president, lamented that the nation is now in a comatose.
He said: “The present government came with the view to change things, but we are now facing challenges. The president started with enthusiasm but people are now disappointed. They have to agree that they have failed.
“I don’t pray that he should die. God should spare his life. Let him come back to continue from where he stopped.”
The cleric lamented that a government that is waging war on corruption is not living up to expectations, adding that corruption is even at its height now since the people in government go abroad for medical treatment instead of strengthening the nation’s hospitals to perform optimally.
