The Presidency has confirmed that President Muhammadu Buhari
is well, alive and holidaying in London. This evening, fake news that President Muhammadu Buhari
passed away in London was being spread on the internet.
Metro UK reported thus–
“Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has died in a London
Hospital where he was receiving medical care".
The Presidency on Saturday said there was no truth in the
news making the rounds that President Muhammadu Buhari is dead.
An online report had claimed that Buhari who began a medical
vacation on Thursday died in a London hospital where he was receiving medical
attention.
“The report is a hogwash,” the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, simply said when our
correspondent contacted him.
Adesina also denied the report on his Twitter handle,
praying for those behind it to repent.
“Best wishes to all who wish PMB well. As for those who
carry evil rumours, may they receive grace to repent,” he report.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Garba Shehu, also took to his Twitter handle to deny the report.
Shehu wrote, “He is alive and well. President Buhari is not
magical. He cannot be holidaying in the UK and be in Germany, dead or alive at
the same time.
“He is unlike a past President who was at Ota with Chief
Obasanjo and attending the Trump inauguration in DC, being in two places at the
same time.”
