The Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), has described the purported report said to have emanated from the hospital to the effect that the presidential flag bearer of All Progressives Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari is stricken with prostrate cancer, the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation said on Saturday.
A statement by the Directorate of Media and Publicity of the APC Campaign in Abuja said: “It (report of cancer) is untrue and condescending of its exponents. I have it on good authority that GMB has not visited the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital in the last five years. So, how can anyone say that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last October, barely three months ago?” Garba Shehu, Director, Media and Publicity of the Campaign said.
“This is the highest point of political distraction, malice and mischief. The report was not only fake but unfounded. I have spoken to impeccable sources at ABUTH all of whom deny the report and also claimed that the letterhead used was not their regular one, and that Dr. Bala Mohammed that purportedly approved the false Medical Report is not on the personnel list of that department,” he said.
Aside, Shehu said sources at ABUTH also disclosed that “Medical Report analysis only come from Laboratory Technologists and not Medical Doctors as handwritten in this particular case, stressing that General Buhari did not attend the hospital for cancer or any other ailment.”
Shehu also dismissed as figment of the imagination of “wicked and evil persons,” rumour that General Buhari may be travelling to the United States towards the end of this month for medical check up.
He restated its earlier statement on Friday that Buhari is as fit as a fiddle.
Shehu while dismissing the report as fabrications, however, said that “as a prominent leader of the opposition, many interests across the Globe want him (GMB) over for political and diplomatic consultations,” adding that the “invitation to the US may not be unconnected to this.”

Always Propaganda Controversy (APC), if the hospital form is fake at least the age on the form 72 years old is correct. I Will not vote for a 72 years old man for the post of the president of my country.

Yes, Buhari Is Sick, And So I Am .........By Vitus Ozoke
Vitus Ozoke, Ph.D is a lawyer and professor of conflict analysis and dispute resolution at Salisbury University, Maryland, USA Any Nigerian who is not sick is not sick because he or she is incurably sick. We are all sick. And we should be sick. So, yes,… …
Buhari is sick of the monumental corruption that has become institutionalized in Nigeria. Buhari is sick of the incompetence of a government that cannot protect the lives and properties of its citizens; … Buhari is sick of the lack of a sense of urgency in the circles of government in Nigeria. Buhari is sick of a country that has placed itself on permanent reverse gear. Buhari is sick of a country that has left itself naked as it is raped dry by vagabonds in power. Buhari is sick of a youth population without jobs. Buhari is sick of a country where university education has become comparable to 8th grade competence in advanced civilizations. Buhari is sick of a country where roads are death traps. Buhari is sick of a country where people go into political offices near poor, but turn stupendously wealthy overnight. Buhari is sick of a country where education is priced beyond the reach of the common masses. Buhari is sick of a country where $20 Billion (possibly $40 Billion) of public fund develops legs and walks away, its whereabouts knowingly unknown. Buhari is sick of watching the country he loves ranked at the bottom of corruption index by Transparency International. Buhari is sick of a country that earns billions of dollars in oil revenue, yet has not a single functional oil refinery. Buhari is sick of a country where government has bowed to the dictates of power generator cabals in a conspiracy that ensures perpetual darkness. Buhari is sick of a country where senators and congressmen earn more than the president of the United States of America. Buhari is sick of a country where soldiers are so demoralized to confront a ragtag Boko Haram terror sect. Buhari is sick of a country where convicted looters are pardoned and fast tracked for senate positions. Buhari is sick of a country where life expectancy is among the lowest in the world. Buhari is sick of a country that is on international news for all the wrong reasons. So, yes, Buhari is sick; and so am I.
The big Question is, why is Jonathan not sick as well? Why has Jonathan remained healthy in the face of all the above-listed filth and diseases? The Question is why is not every Nigerian sick of all the social maladies and existential outbreaks? It is a time to be sick, my friends. Buhari is; I am. Are you? Let’s all get sick of where and how Nigeria is! Let’s get real sick!!And the sicker we are, the healthier we are going to be.
Let’s schedule a doctor’s visit on February 14. Let’s not forget our health insurance card (voter card) as we go for this February appointment. We need to feel better. But until February 14, let’s feel sick… …Real sick!
My footnote: There is no medical institution known as Ahmadu Bello Teaching Hospital as the fake letterheads read. What everybody but the brainless GEJ pathetic propagandist know is Ahmadu Bello UNIVERSITY Teaching Hospital.
