Meanwhile, on Saturday, May 13, 2017, Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari had said no one except the president himself can tell the world what is wrong with him.

Adesina said “It is only the president himself that can declare that. It is within his prerogative to do that. Nobody can do it for him. Not even the doctors treating him can do it for him. Under the Hippocratic Oath, nobody can do it except the patient.

“Nobody; under the Hippocratic Oath, it says that even the doctor has no right to reveal the health status of his patient to anybody. So, it’s only Mr President that can say what exactly is wrong with him,” he said.

On Sunday, Adesina tweeted on President Buhari.

“Why do some people rage and imagine vain things? It is the counsel of God that shall stand. May God bless all those praying for PMB,” he tweeted.
