No doubt that our dear President is very sick and the fact that he
hasn't attended any FEC meetings for four weeks and counting have
sparked a wild speculations that he is so sick that he can't feed
himself anymore.
Information Minister, Lai Mohammed yesterday
refuted claims in some quarters that President Buhari's health has
deteriorate so bad that he is now being fed with a tube. According to
Lai Mohammed, that assumption is absolute bunkum and there is no truth
to it. He said this when asked by a state house correspondents if this
speculation was true.
“The answer to your first question is
absolute bunkum. It is absolutely untrue that he is being fed. He was in
the office yesterday as you all reported. And if the doctors say he
should take a rest, because they think he’ll recover faster, then he
ought to rest rather than forcing himself to work when he is not fit to
work. All he’s doing is following the doctor’s advice. Mr. President
himself told the nation he had never been this sick and he is going to
take it easy.
He said it from day one when he came back from the
United Kingdom. So, whatever is happening today is not any strange
development. It is exactly what he said: that he’s been advised to take
it easy by his doctors and that he will soon also go back for further
treatment. So, I don’t think it’s anything that is out of the place from
what he said. He has been quite transparent and upfront in the matter
concerning his health" he said
