The extension of President Muhammadu Buhari’s medical
vacation in the United Kingdom is not an indication that he is seriously ill
according to his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba.
In an interview Garba stated that Buhari
is not very ill and also not hospitalized.
“I just spoke to the president’s personal doctor, and he
told me President Buhari is not in any serious condition as to worry about. He
is not in hospital. He is in the residence at the Nigerian High Commission.
He and his delegation were ready to come home today but for
the delayed test result which came in today which necessitated that he delays
his return. There is nothing to worry about as far as his condition is
concerned” he said
In a separate interview, Special Adviser to President Buhari
on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, said it is only President Buhari that can
disclose his medical status.
“I am sure it will get to a point when the President has to
disclose the status of his health if it needs to be disclosed. If it’s
something serious enough to disclose, I am sure he will disclose it.
The
President is the one who can release his own health status. The day he left, we
still spoke. He didn’t tell me ‘this is my condition”. He told me he was going
to rest and he would do medicals and that was included in the statement we
released,” he said
