BUHARI’S HEALTH
Dont even dream to exploit his condition. Read
this. It is the model this democracy you now
know better than everybody is anchored on. We
will fight you to every constitutional fact.
US presidents have been sick while in
office.Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) suffered a
severe stroke that left him incapacitated
throughout his presidency. Yet He remained in
office till the end of his term in 1921.Diagnosed
with polio in 1921 at the age of 39, Franklin D
Roosevelt (1933-1945) still served for twelve
good years though he could not stand or walk
without support. Using a wheelchair in private, he
never disclosed the full extent of his health
condition.
Dwight Eisenhower (1953-1961) suffered heart
attack in 1955 as a result of which he was
hospitalized for several weeks. He also did a
surgery some months later to treat Crohn’s
disease and in late 1957 suffered another stroke
that made him temporarily unable to speak. Yet
he went ahead to win a second term after that.
John F Kennedy (1961 - 1963) had a chronic
bone disease and was hospitalized nine times in
his short two and a half year presidency but this
was never revealed to the American public.
George Bush (1989 – 1993) vomited and then
fainted in front of cameras in 1992 while on a
visit in Japan and heaven did not fall in America.
Now if about five of American presidents have
been sick in office, what is wrong if Nigeria’s
current president is also sick? Is he made of
iron? We are also tempted to ask, if Buhari dies,
will it be the first time that a president will die?
Eight American presidents have died in office.
Four died of natural causes: William Henry
Harrison (1841), Zachary Taylor (1850), Warren
Harding (1923) and Franklin Delano Roosevelt
(1945). Four others were assassinated: Abraham
Lincoln (1865), James A. Garfield (1881), William
(1901) and John F. Kennedy (1963).
The truth is that if Buhari dies today, his name
will be written in letters of gold. It is the death
of a hero primus inter pareil and the death of a
reformer nulli secundus. Buhari is a dogged
corruption fighter who came to rescue Nigerians
from yam thieves. If he dies today he will leave
an indellible record, an achievement difficult to
match by his successor and a standard that i
bound to create a yawning lacuna.
Nigerians also need to show sympathy and
understanding as their president battles with a
poor health condition. They should not allow
people whose hearts are filled with hate to
brainwash and indoctrinate them.

Op, if history becomes constitutional fact, can Buhari lived his words during Yar'adua's days?


That is why sometimes it is not good to criticize others as we will not be able to do anything different when we find ourselves in their shoes.

Exactly...

Buhari asked Yar Adua to step down when the latter was sick. I don't see the reason he the former is not doing same now he is a vegetable. Hypocrisy is a disease.

Op, what do you mean by those comparisons up there?. Since you want to copy the whites, you must do so in all honesty not to copy only their wrong doings and throw the best part of them in terms of governance to the dustbin. Buhari is yet to convince me that he's sincere, a man that told us that he's 73 only to be tested by his UK doctors and it was discovered that he's above 80yrs, a man that overthrew a democratically elected government and return Nigeria to military rule which gave room for the likes of Abacha, IBB OBJ, GEJ etc to introduce deadly and incurable corruption in Nigeria. Never in the history of Nigeria will you have security meeting and only the Northern Muslims will be in attendance due to Buhari's corrupt and selfish appointments. The truth remains that Buhari is as corrupt as corruption.
