A new twist has emerged on the alleged trip of the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress Party, APC, Retired General Muhammadu Buhari.
In March 2013, Buhari gave a speech on the subjects of democracy, corruption and the economy at the 4th African Diaspora Conference hosted at the Houses of Parliament in London.
The first picture below is the one released by the APC Campaign leaders yesterday as Buhari in London.
The second picture is the picture of him arriving London in 2013.
The news had spread that the general was flown out of the country for serious medical condition. Ekiti state gov, Ayodele Fayose has also said that the APC is deceiving the nation on the health status of the retired general but the APC had denied the story and released a picture of Buhari in London. The picture however has turned out to be a scam.
Many Nigerian politicians are known for their penchant for lies and deceit and this seems a deceit too many. It should be recalled that this was how the health status of the former president of Nigeria, the late President Yaradua, was shielded from the public for almost one year with fake stories of how he was jogging on the streets of Saudi Arabia.
We will be bringing you more details as they unfold.
Meanwhile , Major-General Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign organization, has dismissed as false reports that the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate is being treated at a hospital located at Cavendish Street, Cavendish Square, W2 London West End, London and he is not listed by the Chatham House as speaker any time soon.
Reacting to Fayose’s statement, Spokesman of the Buhari campaign organisation, Malam Garba Shehu, said , “That is Fayose with his death wish for General Buhari,” adding that Buhari is not in any hospital in London. “There is nothing like that,” he stressed.
Asked if Buhari would give a talk at the prestigious foreign policy hub, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House London, he said: “We have a Thursday date.” We are working on the details. May be it will be ready tomorrow or Monday, otherwise I would have given you the title of the lecture and time. (Photo and Data credits: Demotix, Eaglesquare Reporters).
