Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has said President Muhammadu Buhari is guarding his health status like his counterpart in the United States Donald Trump guards his tax returns.
Soyinka said this while speaking to newsmen in Lagos on Friday.
The renowned author and public speaker also stated that the current speculations about the president’s health is, “unnecessary.”
“Why is the president hiding his state of health? He’s supposed to understand he’s public property, me I’m still private property, that’s why I’m not in Aso Rock.
“Once you are in Aso Rock, or you occupy a similar position, you have a responsibility to come out frankly to your citizens.
“Guarding your state of health like Donald Trump is guarding his tax returns is not what we expect from a Nigerian president.
“Let him address the nation and stop all these speculations which creates unnecessary political manipulations among other things,” he said.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, failed to attend the Jummat prayer in Aso Villa, after failing to convene the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting for the third consecutive week .
