We are not God, we are mere mortals - Akwa Ibom governor speaks on Buhari's health
.
- Akwa Ibom governor was one of the six governors who recently visited President Buhari
.
- The governor said Buhari's recovery is nothing short of a miracle
.
- The governor chastised people mocking the president about his health
.
Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom state who recently visited President Muhammadu Buhari in London has said the president recovery is a miracle.
.
The governor said he and the other 5 governors who recently visited the president discussed important state issues but he didn't disclosed what was discussed.
.
Recall that NAIJ.com earlier reported that six governors led by Governor AbdulazizYari of Zamfara state recently visited the president in London
.
Governor Emmanuel while speaking to Punch said:“Let me thank God for the life of the President and thank God for Nigerians too. I also appreciate Nigerians who have prayed sincerely and earnestly for Mr. President and I think God has actual answered the prayers of Nigerians."
.
He also said Nigerians should see from the pictures he and other governors took with the president that the president is okay and healing faster than expected.
.
He said:“From what you could see from the photographs, you could see that God has actually answered our prayers, so some of us were quite excited to see Mr. President.
.
“He welcomed us, discussed with us and he was also happy to see us.
.
“So, what you are seeing both on television and newspapers are genuine and correct. God has actually healed our President and we thank God for that.”
.
When asked what he and other governors discussed with the president, he said:“I don’t think when you hold meeting, even with your wife and children, you will come and make that public.
.
“The President is the father of the nation and we represent the sub-units of this nation and so it is not everything that we discussed that we should just come and say.
.
“It was a closed door meeting, but be assured that whatever the President will discuss with the governors will be in the best interest of all the citizens of this country."
.
The governor said he is not a medical doctor but he is sure that the president is on his way to a recovery that can only be termed as miraculous.
.
He said:“I am not a medical doctor. Let me say something here, even when you have a biological father, you love your father, you take interest in his well being.
.
“I mean, as a father to the nation, in my personal opinion, I don’t think that is the issue now. The issue is that we should thank God that God has answered our prayers, that is where I am coming from.
.
“Let me also say, some of us behave as if the President and the governors are super humans.
.
“We are normal human beings, we also have challenges. So let us not think that because we are governors or President, we are superhuman.
.
“We are not God, we are mere mortals like any of us here. So that should also make us play down on the way we look at certain issues.”
