Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has asked the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, to stop the lies that Nigerians are fed with concerning the true state of health of President Muhammadu Buhari. Buhari’s close allies, the All Progressives Congress chieftains and wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, have indicated that the ailing number one citizen was getting better and would soon return to the country feeling stronger.
Fani-Kayode in said, “I am constrained to tell the Nigerian people that President Buhari is not better and he will never return as president. The truth is that his situation is pathetic and critical. Acting President Osinbajo should stop the lies. Nigerians have a right to know the truth,” the former minister said.
Fani-Kayode called on Buhari’s handlers to provide proof of life concerning the President.
“I call on the cabal to stop the cover up and show us our President. I challenge them to put him in front of a camera and let him talk. I challenge them to let him tell us what country he is in, who the leader of that country is, what date it is and what the weather is like outside, I challenge them to give us proof of life and proof of lucidity.”
Speaking further, he said, “I challenge them to prove to us that he is familiar with his environment and that he knows who he is seeing, who he is talking to and what he is saying. I challenge them to prove to us that he is not suffering from chronic dementia and that he is not a vegetable that is hooked up to a life-support machine.”
Fani-Kayode said that if Osinbajo and the President’s handlers refused to do any or all of these things it means that there is more to the whole thing than meets the eye and they have something hideous and very ugly to hide. Affirming that he was not speaking out of malice or playing politics with the President’s poor health, the PDP chieftain stated, “He is our President. We care about him and we have a right to know the truth about his welfare, his medical condition, and his situation.”
Meanwhile the Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has threatened to release 11 pictures as proof that President Muhammadu Buhari’s health had deteriorated. He had earlier said there was no iota of truth in the claim by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo that the President was fast recuperating in London, insisting that the President should resign and attend to his failing health.
“If care is not taking, I will release 11 pictures on his failing health and this will create serious problems for the country. The offices of the governors and the president are that which require work,” the governor said.
He however, said he was not praying for the President to die. He challenged Osinbajo to show to Nigerians audio or still pictures taken with the President in London when he met him on Tuesday night.
“I’m not going to prove that to Nigerians. It is him (Osinbajo) who said he saw the President that needs to prove to Nigerians. I have made the allegations and I have said it expressly that we are in the age of technology. So, we have an Acting President of a nation that has visited his boss that cannot show evidence of the meeting.
“The pictures they are posting on social media are pictures taken long time ago. You recall that I said this again at Transcorp Hilton in 2015. We are talking about the President of 170 million people. The Acting President visiting the President that has left this country for about 60 days or more cannot show evidence of the meeting. It shows the President is in a critical condition.
“The fact is, the President is sick, incapacitated and he’s not in good condition. The acting President should show us pictures, short video of his meeting with the President. It is not in the interest of the country that the country will be run in deceit and propaganda. The visit of Osinbajo was diversionary and an attempt to divert the attention of the country. Both the President and his vice do not have what it takes to run the country.
