The governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has disclosed how he felt when he first saw ailing Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari in London on Sunday.
The governor made the disclosure when he spoke on Channel TV last night, saying that he was shocked to see a healthy man that still had his good sense of humor.
According to Okorocha, there were speculations that President Buhari was so ill and was on life support prior to the visit, but that to his greatest shock he saw a man who was so healthy who is fit to return home any moment from now.
“To my greatest shock, when I arrived in London with the Party Chairman and the governors of Kano, Kaduna, Kogi, Nasarawa and the Minister of Transport, we saw a man that was full of humor as usual and we were wondering whether it is the same person that they are talking about.
“All I can say is that Mr. President is in good health, he is not on life support and he will soon be back. And he is not in the hospital.
“I was thinking I was going to see him in the hospital, but he is not even in the hospital. He was at home relaxing and having a good time.
“When I made inquiries as to why he is still waiting, why he is still not back home, all I got as an answer is that he is just taking some vitamins to increase his appetite to regain his lost weight.
“But I think the man is in good spirits and I think the prayers of Nigerians have worked to a great extent and President Buhari is coming back in full force to resume his work. What Nigerians should be talking about now is what should be his next line of action.”
“On when President Buhari will return back home, the governor said “The Buhari I saw two days ago will be back to Nigeria as soon as possible.
“I don’t think that he will stay longer than necessary, unless for some other reasons. I saw a man that was quite healthy, in high spirits and very sound – except for the fact that he has lost a bit of weight.”
