President Buhari Has Difficulty Drinking And Eating - Sahara Reporters by Ra88: 7:14pm On Apr 30, 2017
Buhari Has Difficulty Drinking And Eating, But Cabal Won't Let Him Travel.


Three insiders in the Presidency have told SaharaReporters that President Muhammadu Buhari is being fed intravenously as he has had severe difficulty eating and drinking fluids for several days.

The sources also disclosed that, although President Buhari's health had held up for a while after his return from an extended medical vacation in the United Kingdom, his condition has deteriorated in the last several weeks. They pointed to Mr. Buhari's eating and drinking problems that have left him too frail to leave his official residence at Aso Rock Villa to attend any official functions.

Mr. Buhari has been unable to attend the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting three weeks in a row. Last week he also failed to attend the Friday Juma'at prayers because he had to undergo urgent medical treatment that had him confined to a medical room secretly set up inside the residential area of the villa.


President Buhari was also conspicuously absent from the wedding of his influential personal aide, Tunde "Idiagbon" Sabiu in Kaduna. The wedding, which was attended by political movers and shakers of the Nigerian society, became a scene for curious political power play. It became clear at the wedding that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was treated in a different light by opposing political interests present at the wedding. While some of them showed deference to Mr. Osinbajo, others seemed to pay him scant attention, even to the point of shunning his presence.

SaharaReporters learned that Mr. Buhari's British doctors had sent a medical team to the Villa to attend to him. However, our sources revealed that the medical team advised that the president should immediately return to the United Kingdom to begin what they described as a slow, complex and long-term treatment that could prolong his life.

Four weeks ago, SaharaReporters disclosed that an advance team from the Presidency traveled to the UK to prepare for Mr. Buhari's imminent arrival there for medical treatment. However, following moves by a cabal opposed to their potential loss of political influence, the advance was recalled to Abuja. Our sources named Chief of Staff Abba Kyari as the anchor of the cabal which also includes Mamman Daura, a businessman, and Mr. Buhari's kinsman.

A week later, members of the Presidency's advance team were once again issued with fresh tickets to travel via Ethiopian Airlines, with the plan that Mr. Buhari would depart to the UK on April 15th 2017 for a four-month-long medical sojourn.

However, members of the cabal that wields enormous power in the Presidency, have so far frustrated the president's trip.

The Nigerian president and his handlers have declined to reveal the nature of the ailment that has hobbled Mr. Buhari over several months, rendering him incapable of attending to matters of state with any regularity much less vigor. However, different sources close to him told Saharareporters that, in addition to prostrate issues, Mr. Buhari is also dogged by Crohn’s disease, a medical condition that has affected his digestive system.

Our various sources have said that Mr. Buhari's Crohn's disease has had a devastating impact because of the president's age. One source stated that Mr. Buhari, whose official age is 74, may well be much older. At any rate, his bouts of illness have had a telling effect on him, leaving him gaunt, emaciated, feeble and debilitated.

One of our sources knowledgeable about President Buhari's condition alleged that there was a massive coverup orchestrated by a few aides and cronies of the ailing Nigerian leader to fool the Nigerian public. "They feel that if he [President Buhari] travels abroad, they will lose the power and influence they wield when he is town," the source said. However, the source accused the cabal of being myopic and shortsighted, adding that they were fast-tracking the president's demise by blocking his trip for treatment abroad.

Our sources described the cabal as hellbent on throwing Nigeria into a political crisis in a bid to protect their selfish interests.

It's in everyone's interest (save the parasitic cabals) that this man resigns or proceeds on indefinite medical leave and allow Osinbajo to step in.

The other alternative is option "6 feet" down the earth. Unfortunately, his immediate family members who would feel the greatest pain of his demise, have no say over this matter.

This Bubu should resign honourably, tend himself and answer nature's call as determined by the Almighty. All these political jostling is selfish and wicked, clear hallmarks of greedy, lazy, parasitic louts who make up the kitchen cabinet, and majority of their tribesmen.

I just wish my people never had to be lumped into this disgusting pit of hell on earth.

I can't believe Buhari would let people do this to him. I used to think he was beyond the control of anyone. As for the cabal, they can't hide him forever. It really irks me how we don't learn from past experiences. Didn't Turai and her gang keep Yar'dua from public view? When death took him away, was there no end to the mystery of his whereabouts? Where is Turai today and the people who egged her on? Let them keep the President incommunicado for their own selfish gains. One day, an end will come to the mystery.

Why was Pmb forced out of the London hospital where he was getting enough attention to be bundled home against sound medical advice? I pray Buhari does the right thing as I wish him well.

When I read comments such as this I laugh. Is Nigeria not a sovereign State?, on the day of the presidential election didn't Nigerians vote in favour of Buhari?, how did the westerners impose a leader on you?, we play blame gave blindly.

I pray he gets better but if he is incapacitated, then he should officially write to the senate and handover to Osinbajo like he did before.

We dont want a situation where cabals will take advantage of the power vacuum. The worst looting in the present democracy actually occured during the Yar Adua - GEJ debacle; we can not afford a repetition of events.

He might be undergoing a cancer treatment as they usually have side effects on the oesophagus, and hence the difficulties in swallowing food or drinks.

Cancer.Certain cancers and some cancer treatments, such as radiation, can cause difficulty swallowing.
