Garba Shehu Speaks On Buhari’s Health

Speaking on the president’s casual look which has elicited varied reactions on social media, Shehu said Buhari is “healthier than most young Nigerians” criticizing him on health issues.

The presidential aide, who spoke on Thursday via Zoom in an interview on Channels Television, said Nigerians have started to appreciate that the president is in “good health” as seen in some of his recent pictures.

Shehu said, “The president is keen. For us, what is most impressive here is that people are beginning to appreciate that the president is in good health and it was manifested from some of these pictures that they came across.

“That should dispel whatever fears that some people have. A lot of rumours concerning his health and all of that, generated by people of ill will; people who know nothing about these things.

“We keep saying this that the president is healthier than a lot of the young people who are attacking him on these matters. This continues to be proved by his outings as we have seen in Belgium.”

KanyiDaily recalls that since his assumption to the office of president, Buhari has visited the United Kingdom on several occasions for medical treatment – a development that has raised questions on his health status.
