Buhari's health: presidency dismisses rumours of worse health

The Presidency has told Nigerians that the rumour making the rounds that something sad has happened to President Muhammadu Buhari is false and people should not pay attention to it.

A rumour went spiral on Sunday night that President Muhammadu Buhari has been put on life support in London where he has gone to receive medical treatment.

But, Senior Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said on twitter:

"the rumour is plain lies spread by vested interests to create panic.


“Baseless rumours are trending again that an unpleasant thing has happened to our beloved President, Muhammadu Buhari.”

“If you have received this information on WhatsApp or Facebook, disregard it because it is plain lies spread by vested interests to create panic.”

“Nothing unpleasant has happened to the President. No cause for apprehension,” he concluded.
