President Muhammadu Buhari has described the claim that he was dead and his supposed body double, 'Jibril Aminu from Sudan' as the one occupying the presidential villa in Aso Rock, as an expensive but funny joke.

Buhari reacted to the claim in a documentary shown on Friday night at a private dinner organised by his family and very close associates, marking his 80th birthday tagged "Celebrating a Patriot, a Leader, an elder statesman".

The President said some Nigerians are skilled in creating humour to feast on something they do not understand or comprehend.

He described the rumour as the work of some mischief makers to demonstrate their cheekiness.

Asked by the interviewer if he heard about the crazy rumour a while back that he was not Buhari, he replied smiling, "Yes! People said I am somebody from Sudan. I didn't bother with the name. Nigerians have mischievous ways of explaining themselves."

We know them...they are also claiming Tinubu is from iragbiji, even though iragbiji is a beautiful town in Osun State, we are 1 omoluabis..

Me I know say na same buhari. All the features I've known him with, were still there even after his health condition improved. My liking buhari no be today. If not the old age and his health condition, he'd have done a lot. Those he surrounded himself with also aren't patriotic at all . Na dem destroy the apc and Nigerian economy.

I remember back in the days when he used to visit lagos. He must lodge in my former boss' house at MCdinalds Ikoyi. He wasn't the type who would lodge in a hotel. He so much liked my boss. Regardless of days he'd spend in lagos. He'd be in his house throughout. Maybe he'd have played a great role in his cabinet today but God knows best. . So I've marked those features since then and they're still there on his face now. My boss was such a great man. May Jeye Okorodu's soul rest in peace.

The worst part is that some educated Nigerians even believe them. It is very sad to see a supposed educated man agreeing with lies concocted by a drop out.

Among them sighted . Mumu IPOB Terrorist member.

He can say whatever he likes now, but there was a time someone (a double) was standing in for him.

We are not all stupid.

But why did he forget his mother tongue after his medical tourism?

You can't blame anybody. Lai Mohammed didn't help either with his answers and defence.

Few months left, fingers crossed
