A new investigative and shocking report has revealed the extent of President Muhammadu Buhari's health situation and why the alleged Aso Rock cabal is preventing him from traveling abroad for urgent medical attention.
President Buhari
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 MBuhari'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.
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 Osinbajo, others
seemed to pay him scant attention, even to the point of shunning his
presence.
It was learnt that 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, it was disclosed that an
advance team from the Presidency traveled to the UK to prepare for
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.
Sources
named Chief of Staff Abba Kyari as the anchor of the cabal which also
includes Mamman Daura, a businessman, and 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 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, Buhari
is also dogged by Crohn’s disease, a medical condition that has affected
his digestive system.
Our various sources have
said that Buhari's Crohn's disease has had a devastating impact because
of the president's age. One source stated that 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.
