Buhari Healthier, Stronger Now Than Before He Became President – Garba Shehu

Malam Garba Shehu, a media aide to the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari, has debunked rumour making the rounds about the ill health of his boss.
According to Garba Shehu, Buhari is improving steadily from his recent health challenge in London and showing positive signs every day.
Reacting to the rumour, he said that the 82-year-old Buhari is stronger and healthier now than he did before becoming president.
“He looks much better after leaving the office than before he became president.”
Garba Shehu pointed to Buhari’s dedication to a healthy lifestyle as a major reason for his recovery.
He said that the former president sticks to a simple but disciplined routine.

“He eats healthy and exercises regularly. At the farm in Daura, four times a week, he does one and a half hours of rigorous walking all around.”
Even before falling ill, Buhari remained physically active during his stay in the UK.
“Even in the UK, when he went for a medical check before he fell ill, he flooded the streets,” Shehu added, referring to Buhari’s habit of taking long walks.
Garba Shehu did not deny the fact that Buhari was admitted to the hospital but that his condition was never as bad as some made it seem.

“Buhari has been discharged. It was not as intense as reported. He was hospitalised, and now he is being cared for.

“He is in a recovery mode. Each day, he gets better, but until it’s all over, you can’t say it is over.”
