The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has described as false, the speculation that President Muhammad Buhari is critically ill and on life support. Mr. Okorocha, who is also APC Governors Forum Chairman was part of some APC governors and chieftains who visited President Buhari at the Abuja house in London on Sunday.
Quote
“Before I left Nigeria, there was a lot of speculations that the president is on life support, coming from different angles and this left most Nigerians confused. “To my greatest shock, I arrived London with the party chairman, Governor of Kaduna, Kogi, Nassarawa, minister of transport and we saw a man that was full of humour as usual and I was wondering where people were getting what they are talking about,” Mr. Okorocha said in an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday. Mr. Okorocha said President Buhari is in good health and is not on life support. “He is not even in the hospital,” he added. “I was thinking I was going to see him in the hospital, but he was just at home relaxing and I think the doctors must have insisted that he get some rest. “When I made inquiries on why he is not yet back home, all I get was that He is just taking some vitamins to increase his appetite. “He is in good spirit and I think the prayers of Nigerians have worked to a great extent and he is coming back in full force.”
A statement by the presidency, which provided a photograph, gave the names of those who met with the president to include Mr. Okorocha, as well as Governors Umaru Al-Makura of Nasarawa, Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna, Yahaya Bello of Kogi, and the APC National Chairman, John Oyegun. Mr. Buhari has spent 79 days in London on medical vacation for a yet to be disclosed ailment. The recent trip came about two months after the president returned to Nigeria from an earlier trip to London, where he also spent about 50 days. Apart from the recent trip by Mr. Okorocha and other APC leaders, the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, also recently visited Mr. Buhari in the British capital. Mr. Osinbajo, after the visit, said the president was recuperating fast and would return soon. The presidency also announced on Tuesday that six other governors would visit the president in London on Wednesday. In his interview on Channels TV on Tuesday, Mr. Okorocha said Nigerians should be more concerned about the president’s next actions after his return.

“Nigerians should be talking about what would be his next line of action when he returns and what we are to expect when he arrives,”
he said.

If the president is in good Health, why can't he speak to the Citizens of Nigeria. It's only in Nigeria that things like these are attainable. If he can't Reule he should Resign.

This is a direct indictment by OkoroAwusa by saying that Buhari is in good health. Meaning that the NASS should commence impeachment proceedings immediately against Buhari who abandoned his duty. Nigeria is now a laughing stock comity of Nations.

"He is coming back in full force" as a helicopter or a trailer or locomotive engine? If you visited Buhari at home (London) what do u mean by “When I made inquiries on why he is not yet back home, all I get was that He is just taking some vitamins to increase his appetite"? So you visited him at the same time "inquired" about his return from somebody else. If I visit anybody at home I should be able to "ask" the person direct questions. Again, if he is in good health, like you affirmed, did he tell you why he has not addressed the nation from there? About 65% of Nigerian in his age bracket are taking vitamins and other regimens, but they have not deserted their responsibilities. Mr Okorocha, I believe you have said all these just to curry favor because Buhari told Nigerians and the govt that he left for London for medical reasons. The truth we needed to hear was that our President is recuperating, responding well to treatment or has fully recovered, not make-believe story.

Why do these politicians take Nigerians for granted. If PMB is sick, then he should be allowed to rest and recover. However, if he's fine, why not come back to Nigeria and take his vitamins. Lol . That's a 419 governor talking to foolish Nigerians.

I was very angry reading this nonsense address to Nigerians by Mr. Cockroach Okorocha. We are no longer fools that we used to be as they Idiots Leaders thought. How can some who is well and out from Hospital can't come home to take His vitamins to increase his appetite. Two things are involved. Either Buhari is Dead or his no long able to perform duties. This people are planing ways to hold the office. What useless action is Buhari coming to take. In fact i want him to know that if weather his coming home alive or dead ,we the real Nigerians is to take action on Him. We will resign him or give him the best treatment suitable for him. Useless leaders. No more Elect in the Biafran Land this is do or die. Obasanjo said it.
