The Buhari Campaign Organisation has dismissed as “utterly silly and reckless” statement credited to the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose to the effect that General Muhammadu Buhari does not enjoy good health.
Fayose had criticized Buhari’s candidacy, urging Nigerians not to vote for him, and that he is suffering from ill health.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday and signed by its Spokesman, Mr. Garba Shehu, the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation dismissed as “unsolicited, reckless and silly” the allegation 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.
“GMB is fit as a fiddle,” the statement said, describing Fayose as “over-exuberant.”
The statement said the APC presidential candidate “has no known ailment and is in excellent condition to pilot the affairs of the country.”
The statement added that Buhari is “almost a health freak,” who 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,” the statement said.
Adding that “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.”
