Femi Adesina Debunks Buhari’s Death Rumour, Says He Has Never Seen Him Fall Sick

Speaking on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels Television, Adesina who was responding to reports on the social media that the President who is currently in the UK had passed on, said that the president was “not ill”.

Recall that the president had written the senate, stating that he was going on a 10-day vacation in the UK, where he will also undergo medical check-up.

Adesina said: When the president is at home, I have never seen him fall sick. But he has a personal physician who attends to him. But I would not be able to say categorically whether he uses the Aso Rock facility or not.

“The true state of the president’s health is that he is not ill. I have been in touch with the president and the people around him today, just as I was yesterday.

“The president is fine, and don’t forget, the statement we issued said he was going on holiday and during that holiday, he would do medical checkups.

“Holiday first, medical checkup, second, but some people want to turn it the other way round by saying medical checkup first, no it is a holiday… He is 74, even if you are not 74, you need to check your health. So, let’s not use the word ill because the president is not ill.

“You have what is called medical history where you consult people who are used to you, and your health. Before he became president, he was using those people, so it stands to reason that the same people continue to attend to him”, he added.
