The online media platform,Premium reported earlier yesterday that the Nigerian President,Muhammadu Buhari is sick and was being treated at the state house hospital (here)..
Few hours later,the Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity,Femi Adesina reacted to the report.In an interview he granted to Cable,Femi Adesina, Said the reports were false and that the President is as fit as a fiddle.
"Didn’t you see pictures of him receiving Anglican bishops yesterday (Friday)? Did he look sick? The president is as fit as a fiddle. Anyone who says he is sick is telling lies. That is a figment of the person’s imagination. Just yesterday he received the primate of the Anglican Communion and arch bishops at the presidential villa. He also received former President Olusegun Obasanjo (pictured). He is hale and hearty. The imagination of whoever says that is on overdrive.”he said
Asked why President Buhari had in recent times delegated functions to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Adesina said
"The presidency is one. The president has a right to delegate duties to his deputy, who is the vice-president, and that is what he has done.”he said
