In 2009 while serving as spokesman of the Action Congress, Lai Mohammed, the current minister of information demanded that the federal cabinet gives Nigerians daily authentic health status update on former president Umaru Musa Yaradua.
“Do you think we will be consulting our business like this if Mr. President is ill?” he asked.
“Fashola was in Anambra last week, I was in Kwara yesterday, all our ministers are busy doing their work. Mr. President is well and is absolutely not in danger,” he said.
“I can say without any hesitation that Mr. President is well, is hale and hearty. No question about that.”
Reminded about his call in 2009 for a daily update on Yaradua’s health, Lai said the two situations are like “comparing oranges with apples”.
