Nigeria’s information minister on Wednesday said fears for President Muhammadu Buhari’s health were unfounded, despite more than three weeks with no word about his condition.

Lai Mohammed was asked about the latest situation after the weekly FEC meeting of senior ministers in the capital, Abuja. “Once again, I want to make myself very, very clear. On the issue of Mr President, he is in very competent hands and there is no cause for alarm,” he told reporters. Buhari, 74, has spent a large part of this year in London receiving treatment for an unspecified medical condition. He left Abuja on May 7 for what his office said was a “follow-up medical consultation” in the British capital and has not been seen or heard from since.

His wife, Aisha, has left Abuja to be with her husband. She previously played down rumours he was too ill to rule but said nothing on her departure from the capital on Tuesday. Buhari, a former military ruler, has been dogged by speculation about his health even before the election win in 2015 that brought him to power. During that election campaign, the then-ruling party claimed he was seriously ill with prostate cancer and even put out advertisements insinuating he would die in office. Buhari rejected the claims as unfounded and designed to portray him as unfit for office. He first sought treatment in London in June last year for what his aides said was a persistent inner ear infection, returning six months later for check-ups that was later said to be “a long period of treatment”. Buhari himself admitted on his return to Abuja in March that he had undergone blood transfusions and a barrage of tests. “I couldn’t recall being so sick since I was a young man,” he added. He made few public appearances until May 7, when he was seen looking painfully thin at a photocall with 82 schoolgirls released after spending over three years as Boko Haram hostages.

'healthy' in his context simply means 'unhealty'

I never knew the word "healthy" has become an ambiguous word.

SMH.

This man should stop these lies and respect his office if not himself.

So what's he still doing in London?

How long will this farce continue?, we have a healthy president who no longer makes public appearances. Since he's healthy we'll assume he conveniently decided to become an introvert.

Lai the liar and grand khadi of lies.

Lie Mohammed is ipobexposed Master

Mr LAI muhammed I believe all what you said about our beloved president, IPOB and enemy of progress will soon interpret it in their stupidity ways

If this is truly coming from Mr Liar himself, then, the opposite is the case, no controversy!

If he's healthy, why is he reportedly receiving treatment in the UK from competent hands?

Lie lives up to his name once again.

Lai Muhmd is No. on d List of To-Sack if Ds Buhari Governments mean Well fr its Self,Cos I know they don't mean Well fr Nigeria.

Paperwhite:
Lai the liar and grand khadi of lies.

One day na one day

Of course he is very healthy
Only that he enjoys to waste tax payers money in London hospital

It's not a surprise to me
APC is practicing criminolocracy

Nowhere in the quote attributed to Lai did he say Buhari was very healthy.
