AS the news of Buhari's rumoured death continues to spread around the world, Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) after a meeting in Abuja, according to reports, may be left with no option but to send a fact-finding delegation to London.
President Buhari, the Presidency insists is on a ten-day annual vacation to the UK which is almost coming to an end.
Sources in Aso Villa explained that the governors arrived on Wednesday while the meeting took place on Thursday (yesterday).
The rumour mill had indicated on Wednesday that the president’s health might have deteriorated, following an alleged move by some forces to get Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to resign.
But the Presidency denied the information on Wednesday, adding that no one was prevailing on the acting president to resign.
Also, the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, threatened action against originators of death rumour of the president, insisting that President Buhari was hale and hearty.
According to the information, some governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had visited the Presidential Villa to compel Vice-President Osinbajo to resign the position of acting president, but the Presidency also dispelled the rumour.
It was also gathered that some Governors elected on the APC platform met in Abuja on Wednesday night. The agenda of the meeting was, however, not known as of press time.
A source also said the meeting would discuss the possibility of sending a delegation to visit the president in London, United Kingdom (UK).
Zamfara State governor and chairman of the forum, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, is expected to preside over the meeting which sources said was called to dispel the growing tension and avail the governors the opportunity of the true situation of things as regards the president and the Presidential Villa.
“A number of our colleagues have been bombarded with calls by concerned citizens about what they are reading on the social media about the president.
“It is incumbent on the NGF to take concrete steps to stabilise the situation. Remember that the forum did the same during the tenure of the late President Umaru Yar’Adua,” a source said.
“The situation needs clarifications. We can’t afford our citizens to be in the dark that is why we met on Thursday,” a source said.
