Former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, who was hospitalised in an undisclosed hospital in London for an unknown ailment, has been discharged.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Malam Garba Shehu made this known on Monday.
“Alhamdu Lillahi for Allah’s mercy. I just ended a visit to His Excellency Abdulsalami Abubakar, former Head of State. He is out of hospital in a London apartment and apparently in no serious condition.
“He was his jovial self, maintaining a keen interest in developments back at home in Nigeria. Please, no cause for alarm,” Shehu stated.
TNG reports General Abubakar’s hospitalisation was kept secret by his family members and aides.
Recall that the former Head of State, who is the Chairman of the National Peace Committee, could not attend a meeting on June 15 where all the governorship aspirants for the Ekiti governorship election signed a Peace Pact.
He was represented by Bishop Mathew Kukah and other members of the committee when the peace pact was signed.
Also, TNG reports Abubakar could not celebrate his 80th birthday on June 13, 2022, as earlier planned because of his sickness.
