In response, Buhari thanked Conde for the call.
He also used the opportunity to congratulate him on his recent election as AU Chairperson during the 28th Ordinary Summit of the continental body in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in January 2017.
Buhari wished him a successful tenure, while expressing confidence that Africa will witness improved political stability, security and economic growth during his tenure.
Conde's call follows that of King of Morocco Mohammed VI who called President Buhari on Wednesday, March 1 to know about the Nigerian leader's state of health.
The president left Nigeria on January 19 for a 10 day vacation which has since been extended indefinitely.
According to reports, Buhari's aides are allegedly trying to get him back to Aso Rock in Abuja before the eight-week closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the Federal Capital Territory if possible.
As Nigerians patiently wait for the president to return, below is what they have to say.
