President Muhammadu Buhari has again spoken from his vacation spot in London, the United Kingdom.
Buhari’s latest telephone conversation was with the Governor of Katsina State, Aminu Bello Masari.
Speaking with the Voice of America, VOA, Hausa, Masari insisted that the President was hale and hearty.
According to the governor, ‘’On Saturday, I spoke with the president on phone, he is hale and hearty. All those castigating rumors on the health condition of the president should think twice and change their mindset.
‘’The president is on vacation for medical check-up which is in line with the Nigerian constitution where he assigned all the responsibility to his vice at full autonomy pending when he comes back.
‘’Therefore, the president did not break any law by leaving for medical vacation. Last Wednesday, I called the Emir of Daura and that of Katsina directing them to engage in special prayers for the president, which they did during Friday session prayers.
‘’We will not stop praying for the president, we shall keep praying till Almighty Allah answers our prayers. Praying for a leader is a mandate to every Nigerian irrespective of religion. Both scriptures direct us to pray for our leaders.”
This revelation is coming after the President’s phone chat with the Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
Recall that shortly after Buhari embarked on his vacation few weeks ago, rumour had it that he was dead.
This was further fuelled by the fact that the President who was expected back in the country, following the completion of his vacation, sent a letter to the National Assembly same day extending his 10-day vacation in the UK to enable him complete and receive medical results.
On Tuesday, the President through his media aide, Femi Adesina revealed that series of medical check-ups he carried out in the cause of his vacation had necessitated his prolonged stay in London.
