Presidential candidate of All Progressives (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari fell short of sending curse at the governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose for his statement to the effect that the General does not enjoy good health.
In a statement issued in Abuja today, the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation dismissed such statement from Governor Fayose as “unsolicited, reckless and silly.” The statement from APC Presidential Campaign organisation asked Nigerians to ignore the statement from “the over-exuberant Governor of Ekiti State,” adding: “GMB is not given to curses otherwise he would have done as the late President Nnamdi Azikiwe did when a similar mischief played out over his health. Zik swore that whoever did this to him will expire before him, and they all did.”
Governor Fayose was quoted as saying that former President Obasanjo was planning an imposition of General Buhari on Nigeria as he allegedly did the late President Yar’Adua while ignoring their health conditions.
Garba Shehu, in the statement made it clear that General Buhari is as fit as a fiddle, adding: “he has no known ailment and is in excellent condition to pilot the affairs of the country.”
According to Garba Shehu, General Buhari does not joke with his health, saying “Buhari is almost a health freak and that he exercises regularly and undergoes medical examinations at regular intervals.
“On each occasion, the outcomes of those medicals have been favourable. The recent medicals he did gave him a clean bill of health,” Garba Shehu said. [myad]
