I’ve informed NASS about my illness – #Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday subscribed to an age-long belief that all mortals can fall sick and that he, too, can take ill.
The President made the admittance at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, en route   London, United Kingdom, for medical attention on his ear.

Recall that the State House had  on Sunday night, announced that the President was ill and needed to see his doctors in a London hospital to attend to his ear. While departing Nigeria, the President, who spoke to journalists, said he had also communicated the National Assembly about his trip.

He said:  “I have already told Nigerians that I am going for 10 days to get my ear checked. The National Assembly knows, they have been formally informed.’’ On how to calm the tension of a President falling sick, the President answered “is there anybody that doesn’t fall sick?”


But on another breath, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, who accompanied the President to the airport, denied that the President was sick. He said the President was taking 10 days off and would see his doctors abroad. Adesina said:

“The buzz going round town is that the President is “ill”, but “ill” will be a misnomer. It should not be the right word to use. “
The President is going for a 10 day rest and during that period he will see specialists who will look at his ear because he has been treating that ear locally for sometime.
