Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu has called on Nigerians to stop spreading false rumours about the health of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The minister asked Nigerians to remain calm and pray for the quick recovery of Mr. President who is currently in the UK.
Shittu made this appeal via a statement by his media aide, Victor Oluwadamilare on Thursday in Abuja.
Shittu said that the President, like any other person was entitled to medical check-ups after strenuous official engagements, hence there should be no reason for anybody to make issues out of his health condition.
“At this critical stage when the government is trying to pull the nation out of economic woods, the least that is expected from Nigerians is distraction.
“All hands must be on deck while necessary support should be given to the acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo while he holds forth for President Buhari.
“Every patriotic Nigerian should be concerned with the smooth running of government so that the present administration can bring about the change promised the nation.
“The prayer of everyone is needed for the government to successfully execute various agenda put in place to make life meaningful for the citizenry.
“And all of us in our respective assignments must ensure that this government succeeds.
“Morally, it is wrong for people to be wishing the president dead in as much as all of us are mortals who can fall sick at any time,’’ he said.
