THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA

The health status of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, has been generating a lot of controversies in recent times.

For the first time since the controversy started, his wife, Aisha Buhari has opened up about her husband’s health status.

Aisha, who spoke to The Guardian at the Westminster Plaza Hotel, London on Saturday night, after APC team’s interactive reception with Nigerians in the diaspora, said her husband was hale and hearty.

She debunked reports making round that her husband is ill and was in London for health reasons.

When asked if her husband was being hospitalized, she replied: “He’s home, well and sound.

“No, he’s just come here to rest. He’s just here to have a rest, at least few days rest, before he goes back to the business.”

Following Buhari's visit to London, rumours started spreading that he was sick and had travelled for health reasons.

Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has insisted that Buhari is sick, calling on him to swear by the Holy Quran that he didn’t visit the United Kingdom for medical treatment.

The APC presidential candidate had denied the reports about him visiting a London hospital to address his health problems saying they were false.
