Mrs. Aisha Buhari has said contrary to claims, her husband’s health was not as bad as it was being portrayed.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s health has been a source of concern, especially when he failed to attend the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in recent times.
In a series of tweets on her twitter handle @aishambuhari, she insisted that he has continued to carry out his responsibilities as the President of Nigeria.
She said “@aishambuhari: I thank all Nigerians for their concern, love and prayers over my husband’s health status.”
“@aishambuhari: I wish to inform everyone that his health is not as bad as it’s being perceived. Meanwhile, he continues to carry out his responsibilities.”
“@aishambuhari: during this period. As it may come to your notice, he is meeting with Minister of Justice and GMD of NNPC this evening.”
“@aishambuhari: Long Live Nigerians, Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
President Buhari did not turn up for last Juma’at prayer at Aso Rock mosque on Friday.
This was a day after the Presidency assured Nigerians thatthere was no need for apprehension over his health, saying he was only obeying doctors orders to take deserved rest.
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu had on Thursday issued a statement that the President was recuperating at his private residence, outside the Presidential Villa.
He said Buhari was working from home adding: “His private residence, in which he has been spending the majority of his time recently, also has a fully equipped office.”
Buhari has been rarely seen in public for a while now,raising concerns about his health.
