Garba Shehu & Reno Omokri
The online speculations which alleged that President Muhammadu
Buhari was in a terrible health condition that could lead to his death,
left the social media abuzz over the weekend, just hours after the
presidency announced that the President would be travelling to Germany
for medical check-up.
In a swift reaction to the rumour that the president is dead, the
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the president, Garba
Shehu, said that Buhari is not like Jonathan who could be in Ota in Ogun
state and at the same time be in the United States for President
Trump’s inauguration as claimed by many platforms on social media.
Shehu had while debunking the death rumour said, “The president cannot be holidaying in the United Kingdom and be in Germany, dead or alive at the same time.” He added that Buhari
“was unlike a past president who was at Ota with Chief Obasanjo and
attending the Trump inauguration in Washington DC, being in two places
at the same time.”
His comments on Twitter did no go down well with former Special
Adviser to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Electronic Media, Reno
Omokri, who replied Shehu saying; “We know that your boss has reduced the Naira to its lowest level ever but you do not have to go this low!”
Also in his reaction to the speculations, the Special Adviser to
the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, also thanked all
those who wished the president well while asking for the Grace of God
for repentance on all those who carried the rumours.
He said: “Best wishes to all who wish PMB well. As for those who carry evil rumours, may they receive grace to repent.”
Recall also that the Ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan had gone for a
closed-door meeting with the equally Former President, Olusegun
Obasanjo at Ota in Ogun state the same day that the U.S was inaugurating
the new President, Donald Trump.
Many speculations filled the social media that the U.S invited
Jonathan for the inauguration but snubbed President Buhari. A claim both
quarters have come out to debunk.
