Just In: President Buhari is as Fit as a Lion - Presidency Debunks 'Meniere Disease' Viral Report
President Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari is 'as fit as a fiddle', Femi Adesina, the presidential spokesman, has said as he reacts to reports on the health of the nation's number one citizen
We reported it here earlier today that an authoritative report revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari is sick and is being treated at the presidential villa, Abuja, adding that the president has an infection in his left ear, otherwise called 'Meniere Disease', a challenge which has drastically reduced his outings in the last one week.
Reacting to reports on the health of the nation’s number one citizen which has gone viral online and social media, the presidential special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, said President Muhammadu Buhari is 'as fit as a fiddle'.
The spokesman said the whole country saw the president when he received some dignitaries at the presidential villa in Abuja during the week.
“Didn’t you see pictures of him receiving Anglican bishops yesterday (Friday)? Did he look sick? The president is as fit as a fiddle. Anyone who says he is sick is telling lies.
“That is a figment of the person’s imagination. Just yesterday he received the primate of the Anglican Communion and arch bishops at the presidential villa. He also received former President Olusegun Obasanjo. He is hale and hearty. The imagination of whoever says that is on overdrive,” he told TheCable.
Responding to why the president has been delegating Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to places he initially planned to visit, Adesina said: “The presidency is one. The president has a right to delegate duties to his deputy, who is the vice-president, and that is what he has done.”
