PRESIDENT MUHAMADU BUHARI IS ALIVE
President Muhammadu Buhari is said to be 74 years old and he's hale and hearty,
Presidency said Thursday, denying rumours in the press and on social media that he was seriously ill or even dead.
Last week, the 74-year-old went to London for “routine medical check-ups” – the second such trip this year, the presidency said.
But rumours that his health was failing began to circulate following reports that officials were planning to send a delegation to Britain to assess his condition.
The reports were swiftly denied by Information and Culture Minister Lai Mohammed, who said they contained “no iota of truth” and that there was “no plan to send any emissary to London” to see him.
