Nigerians have taken over the social media with the hashtag, #WheresBuhari, to demanded the whereabouts of President Muhammdau Buhari who has not been seen in public in recent times.
The president who was supposed to make a public address to Nigerian civil servants on May 1 was nowhere in sight.
Also, the President has not attended the last three Federal Executive Council, FEC meeting.
Recently, the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has been attending and taking charge in so many occasions where the President himself should have shown up.
Just last week, the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed told Nigerians that the President could be working from home. A statement he later denied.
However, As majority of Nigerians ,especially the federal government workers and civil servants observe the May 1st ‘Worker’s Day’ holiday on Monday, some took to the social media platform, Twitter to ask about President Buhari.
@EU Emmanuel wrote, “Our President is now a ghost worker …a ghost worker looking for a ghost worker to catch.#wheresBuhari
@UgomPrince said, “I rather die on the seat isn’t the best. Your health is paramount. Resign or show yourself strong. #wheresBuhari
@dondekojo wrote, “Please #wheresBuhari, he has yet to address the nation in months. No FEC meeting in 3 weeks and he has gone incommunicado.
@OrjiUka wrote, “On this day, I join well meaning Nigerians to demand the health status of our Prsident #wheresBuhari.”
This is coming after the presidency had late last week, via its twitter handle, @NGRpresidency, told Nigerians that there is no need for apprehension over the health of President Muhammadu Buhari.
It further stated that the absence of the President from the FEC meeting on Wednesday was a last minute decision, otherwise the cabinet and the public would have been alerted in advance. It added that as eager as the President is to be up and about, his doctor had advised him to take things slowly as he fully recovers from the long period of treatment in the United Kingdom.
