Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari
was at a London hospital and not on a working visit to the United
Kingdom, as insisted by his party. He warned the APC not to give
Nigeria another Yar'Adua treatment.
"As against the claim of the APC that Buhari was on a short working
visit to the UK, Buhari is being treated at a hospital located at
Cavendish Street, Cavendish Square, W2 London West End, London," he
claimed.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and
New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor described the claim by the APC
that Buhari would give a talk at the Royal Institute of International
Affairs, Chatham House, London, as "deceit taken too far."
APC has, however, dismissed Fayose's allegation. Mallam Garba Shehu,
spokesman of APC's presidential campaign organisation, told Saturday
Tribune that Buhari was in good condition. He explained that the
former head of state was in London for a major engagement at the
Chatham House.
"You know Fayose had published Buhari in a coffin before. It is
surprising to Fayose that Buhari is alive today," he said. "He is not
in any hospital. He is in London for a major engagement at Chatham
House scheduled for next week."
Shehu boasted about Buhari's opportunity, saying "It took Jonathan two
years to get a slot there whereas a slot was given to General Buhari
within 24 hours.
"We sympathise with Fayose. Left for him, Buhari would be dead by now
but he is not God. Buhari is hale and hearty," Shehu said.
