In an interview on the condition of anonymity, one of the two sources also claimed that some of the president’s latest health symptoms revealed in our recent reports arose as adverse reactions to drugs prescribed for Mr. Buhari since he arrived in the UK. The symptoms include memory loss and speech impairment. http://saharareporters.com/2017/06/24/president-buhari-%E2%80%9Cnot-bad-anymore%E2%80%9D%E2%80%94aides 2 Likes 2 Shares
