Special Adviser on Media and Publicity
to the President, Femi Adesina, explained that Buhari is not on
admission in any London Hospital, as being speculated in some quarters.
Recall, that Buhari had last week,
transmitted power to Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, in an acting
capacity, as he proceeded on a 10-day medical vacation.
Adesina, in an interview with CNBC
Africa, stressed that: “President Muhammadu Buhari is not ill, and not
on admission in any hospital in London.
“The President is in London on vacation.
He is not in any hospital, and he is not ill. When he was travelling
last week, the statement we put out, was that he was going on vacation,
and during the vacation he would do routine medical check-up, and
nothing has changed from what we pushed out last week. If anybody has
fed something else into the rumour mill, that is just what it is –
rumour.
“The fact that he is a President, he still has his rights. Compelling him to come out and talk will be infringing on his rights.
“The President will talk if he wishes
to. If he doesn’t wish to, nobody will compel him to talk. The truth is
that the President is on vacation, and he has given a date on which he
will return to work,” the President’s Spokesman said.
Also, the Federal Government has
debunked reports in some sections of the press, that some Governors met
in Abuja, on Wednesday, to send emissary to see President Buhari.
