The indefinite extension of President Muhammadu Buhari’s vacation in the United Kingdom has generated an unexpected debate on the President’s health status.



President Buhari had earlier written the National Assembly to notify them of his intention to embark on a 10-day vacation in the United Kingdom.

In the aftermath of the news of the extension, Nigerians took to the social media to ‘debate’ the President’s health in the name of ‘voicing out their concerns and fears’ about the President’s health.

Attempts by his family, media aides and even the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbanjo to refute claims by some sections of the media (and of course, some Nigerians) that the President’s health is deteriorating proved abortive. The Presidency was ‘forced’ to release several pictures of the President ‘in good health’ but Nigerians claimed the pictures were old and do not represent the true state of the President’s health.
