The National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has been accused of being the brain behind the call for President Muhammadu Buhari’s resignation, by eminent Nigerians.
This accusation came a few hours after thirteen prominent Civil Rights Activists, who are widely believed to be Tinubu’s henchmen, led by Lagos Lawyer, Femi Falana, called on Buhari to immediately proceed on a medical leave. The call was contained in a statement issued on Monday, and jointly signed by the Activists.
The Activists, noted that the President’s health appears to have deteriorated, given that he has neither been seen in public in the last one week, nor attended the last two meetings of the Federal Executive Council, FEC.
“His absence at the last Jumat service in the Villa, has fueled further speculations and rumors on President Buhari’s medical condition,” the Activists said.
The signatories to the statement also included: Professor Jibrin Ibrahim, Debo Adeniran, Dr. Chris Kwaja, Mr. Y. Z. Ya’u, Mr. Chom Bagu, and Mr. Olanrewaju Suraju. Others were: Messrs. Ezenwa Nwagwu, Anwal Musa Rafsanjani, David Ugolor, ‘Sina Odugbemi, Muhammed Attah, and Adetokunbo Mumuni.
Here is the statement in Full.
When President Muhammadu Buhari was recently in the United Kingdom on a medical vacation, which lasted 49 days, many Public Officers said that he was “hale and hearty.” But upon his return to the country, the President disclosed that he had never been that sick in his entire life. Even though President Buhari did not disclose the nature of his ailment, he revealed that he went through blood transfusion. While thanking the Nigerian people for their prayers, the President announced that he might soon travel back for further medical treatment.
A few weeks ago, the Governor of Kaduna State, Mr. Nasir El-Rufai, urged Nigerians to give President Buhari time to recover from his sickness. The plea was made after the Governor had visited and presumably assessed the state of health of the President, at the Presidential Villa, in Abuja. However, due to the apparent deterioration in the President’s condition, he has neither been seen in public in the last one week, nor attended the last two meetings of the Federal Executive Council. His absence at the last Jumat service in the Villa, has fueled further speculations and rumours on President Buhari’s medical condition.
But instead of embarking on a regular briefing on the actual state of the health of President Buhari, officials of the Federal Government have continued to assure the Nigerian people that there is no need for apprehension over the matter. In defending the absence of the President at the last FEC meeting and other state functions, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Garba Shehu, stated that: “the President’s Doctors have advised on his taking things slowly, as he fully recovers from the long period of treatment in the United Kingdom, some weeks ago.”
As we join the Nigerian people of goodwill to pray for a speedy recovery of President Buhari, we are compelled to advise him to heed the advice of his Personal Physicians, by taking a rest to attend to his health, without any further delay.
