Rumour Of President Buhari's Demise Is False News

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Sunday said there was no truth in the rumour making the rounds that President Muhammadu Buhari had passed on in London, United Kingdom.

Shehu said this in a series of tweets he posted on his Twitter handle, @GarShehu, amidst unconfirmed reports on social media platforms and some online new sites on the President’s health.

The presidential spokesman urged Nigerians to discard the reports which he said were being peddled by vested interests in order to cause panic.

He said there was no cause for apprehension because nothing unpleasant had happened to the President.

“Nothing unpleasant has happened to the President. No cause for apprehension. Thanks for the many calls.”

Let us all hope that this is not yet another 'Y'aradua' situation before us.

God grant our President good health.
