Buhari Fitter, Healthier Than Most Nigerian Youths – Presidency

The Presidency has said President Muhammadu Buhari is fitter and healthier than most Nigerian youths criticising him on social media.

During an appearance on Channels Television on Thursday night, presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, said the President is not worried about those attacking him on health issues.

Shehu was reacting to some pictures of the president in Brussels, Belgium, where he was seen dressed in casual wear during a meeting with some African leaders.

The presidential spokesman stated that the casual outfit worn by the President shows that he is trendy and is in good health, asking Nigerians to ignore Buhari’s ill-health rumours.

Shehu asserted that the pictures displayed on social media reveal that most people are beginning to appreciate that the president does not have any health issues as widely claimed.

He said: “The President is keen. For us, what is most impressive here is that people are beginning to appreciate that the president is in good health and it was manifested from some of these pictures that they came across,” he said.

“That should dispel whatever fears that some people have. A lot of rumours concerning his health and all of that, generated by people of ill will; people who know nothing about these things.

“We keep saying this that the president is healthier than a lot of the young people who are attacking him on these matters. This continues to be proved by his outings as we have seen in Belgium.”
