Erstwhile Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has
described the rumoured death of President Muhammadu Buhari as
mischievous, saying the rumour is an indication of a longer life for the
President.
Oshiomhole, who spoke during the bye-election conducted in Etsako
Federal constituency, yesterday, said he had been holidaying in his
village at Iyamho, which, according to him, will afford him the
opportunity to contribute his quota to the upliftment of his community.
The former governor cautioned those spreading the rumour about the
alleged death of Buhari to remember what happened to those who initiated
the rumour about the death of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, a former ceremonial
president of Nigeria.
He recalled that all those in the burial committee for Azikiwe later died while the former politician was alive.
“If Nigeria medical doctors find cause for you to go and do
routine medical check, why would anybody make it an issue that any
Nigeria including our President should be denied the right for a medical
check? Why would that be an issue and we like to speculate the worst?
It is an unnecessary controversy” Oshiomhole said.
“He is entitled to his vacation and we have seen US President
going to Camp David to have a rest. We saw Cameron photograph wearing
bikini with his wife in Spain on vacation. If you journalists don’t go
on vacation, it is because you have not fought for your right to take
out time from your work.”
On how he has been spending his time outside office, Oshiomhole
said he has been enjoying good rest just as he said his life in office
will be detailed in his memoir.
