The presidency has denied a report by some media that President Muhammadu Buhari, who is holidaying abroad is dead.
The
alleged fake report first broken by Metro (UK) quoted the Nigerian
mission in the country as confirming the president’s death.
The report claimed that Buhari
visited the UK for medical check over an unknown disease adding that
details of his death were still sketchy.
But in his reaction, Shehu Garba, Buhari’s spokesperson, said: “He
is alive and well! President Buhari is not magical. He cannot be
holidaying in the UK and be in Germany, dead or alive at the same time.
“He is unlike a past President
who was at Ota, with Chief Obasanjo and attending the Trump
inauguration in D.C, being in two places at the same time!”
In his reaction, Femi Adeshina, one of Buhari's aide also reportedly
said he would only say best wishes to all who wish Buhari well while for
those who carry evil rumours, may they receive grace to repent.
