The Presidency has once again refuted rumours of President Muhammadu Buhari’s deteriorating health condition, insisting the President is doing fine and in daily contact with the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
This was revealed by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed on a monitored programme on Channels Television on Thursday.
According to Mohammed, Buhari has “so much trust” for Osinbajo and also enjoys his maximum loyalty and confidence.
Asked if President Buhari is in support of the meetings the Acting President is having with leaders of the North and South East amid growing tension in both regions, the minister said there is no concern about that.
He said, “The Acting President is daily in touch with Mr President so I am very confident that Mr President is in the full know of what the Acting President is doing and there is so much trust between the acting president and the president I don’t think there should be an area of concern at all.”
On the calls for the restructuring of Nigeria, Mohammed said that was not a priority for the government.
He said, “I have said at several fora that the priority of government right now is to keep this government one and safe.
“The priority is to revamp the economy and the priority of this government right now is to ensure that we fight corruption and that we put this country on a very stable footing.
“The issue of restructuring might come later but right now it is not on our front burner.”
TheNewsGuru.com reports that an online news site, SaharaReporters recently claimed that the President’s wife, Aisha who just returned from London wasn’t allowed to see the president due to his deteriorating health condition: “The information came from presidency sources on Tuesday, affirming that the president has been kept away from several of his aides and even those bodyguards who supposedly traveled with him”.
