According to The Cable, Femi Adesina, President Buhari’s
spokesman, while reacting to reports that the president is ill, said: “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 Pres. Obasanjo. He is hale and hearty.
The imagination of whoever says that is on overdrive.”
Responding to why the president has been delegating VP 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.”
There are reports that the president may be flown abroad for
medical treatment as a result of intense pain in the left ear. This is believed
to have led to the cancellation of trips to Lagos and Rivers.
Buhari, 73, has travelled long haul in recent times, notably to China,UAE, US and Qatar, and some travellers are known to develop ear pains as a result of the pressurised cabin.
