President Muhammadu Buhari has stepped out of his residence in London on Thursday, February 9, 2017, to debunk stories that he was on admission at Princess Grace Hospital, according to the presidency.

Here the Nigerian leader is captured with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress and Chief Bisi Akande, former governor of Osun State in front of the Nigerian House.

“With testimonies by several leaders, including Hajiya Rakiya, President Buhari’s Sister, the rumour mongers will now get out of business,” a report by the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, a state-run news outlet says.

Buhari Health Rumours

Rumours about the health status of the president continue to swirl on cyber-space after a fake news website reported that Buhari had passed on.

The Nigerian presidency has debunked the rumour and said that the retired military general, 74, is “alive and well”.

“He is alive and well! President Buhari is not magical. He cannot be holidaying in the UK and be in Germany, dead or alive at the same time,” Garba Shehu, one of Buhari’s spokespersons, said in a short post on his Facebook page.

The president left the country last week on a 10-day leave and is expected back home on February 2, 2017. While making the official announcement, presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina had assured that there is nothing to worry about the president’s routine medical checkup while on his vacation.

The president himself also made it clear that there is nothing wrong with going on vacation, just before stepping into the presidential jet.

The rumours won’t go away. Wednesday morning, news began to circulate online that the present was on life-support at King’s College Hospital. According to the blogger who reported the story, his source is an inside source familiar with the situation.

The president was expected to return to the country on February 6, 2017, the same day that the presidency issued a statement saying that he had extended his medical leave indefinitely due to health reasons.
