- The presidency insists that Buhari is only in London, United Kingdom, for vacation and is not in any hospital
- Presidential media aide, Femi Adesina, says the president is on vacation and he has given a date on which he will return to work
Femi Adesina insists Buhari is on vacation.
The presidency has said it will amount to infringement on the right of Muhammadu Buhari if the president is compelled to speak from the UK to dispel rumour making the round on his state of health.
The special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, has also insisted that Buhari is only in London, United Kingdom, for vacation and is not in any hospital.
The Punch reports the Adesina in an interview with CNBC Africa, on Thursday, January 26, said the president is in London on vacation and is not in any hospital as rumoured
He said: “When he was travelling last week, the statement we put out was that he was going on vacation and during the vacation, he would do routine medical check-up and nothing has changed from what we pushed out last week.
“If anybody has fed something else into the rumour mill, that is just what it is — rumour.”
When asked if Buhari would be willing to talk to Nigerians from the UK, Adesina said such a decision could only be taken by the President himself.
The presidential aide said any attempt to compel Buhari to do so would amount to infringement on his rights.
