Presidency Reacts To Report That Buhari Has Difficulty Drinking And Eating

The Presidency has refuted a report by Sahara Reporters on Sunday, April 30 which says President Muhammadu Buhari is so sick that he cannot eat or drink being fed fluids intravenously.

The online news platform claimed that three different sources in the presidency confirmed the alleged poor state of the president’s health. But President Buhari’s personal assistant on new media Bashir Ahmad said the report was totally untrue.

Ahmad cleared the air late on Sunday, April 30 after the report claimed that the President’s health had deteriorated seriously in the last few weeks. He wrote on his Facebook account;

“I have received many calls and text messages this evening, asking me whether the story published on Sahara Reporters about President Muhammadu Buhari’s health status is true or not. 

“The story like so many of its kind is untrue, as Garba Shehu said last week Thursday, there is no need for apprehension over President Buhari’s health.

“We pray that God continues to see Mr. President through this period of recuperation.”
