A chieftain of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Amb. Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, during weekend warned
people against spreading lies about President Muhammadu Buhari’s health, in the
interest of the country.
Mumuni was reacting to comments
attributed to two prominent politicians, Femi Fani Kayode and Gov. Ayodele
Fayose of Ekiti State.
The duo criticised the recent
visit of acting President Yemi Osinbajo’s visit to Buhari in London as fake,
demanding for photo or video evidence.
The former diplomat said
Nigerians have no reason to doubt their acting President, who is a senior
pastor and reputable Presbyterian.
“The Osinbajo that I know will
have no reasons to isolate the truth by toying with Nigerians minds. Even the
first Lady, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, has spoken that the old man is recuperating.
These are the two closest and confidants to Mr President,’’ he said.
The renowned security expert said
going by the President’s age, there should not be any unnecessary hard
shoulders.
“The tendency of being sick
cannot be ruled out. Rather than wasting their time on fruitless talks and
unguarded utterances capable of destabilising the peace of this country, I urge
them to join other Nigerians in praying for the president’s speedy recovery.’’
Mumuni, who is also the Aare
Jagunmade 1 of Lagos, urged Nigerians not to panic, saying that what transited
during the late President Umar Yar’Adua health situations would not be
repeated.
He said it was obvious that some
people got away with deceit and fraudulent acts then, by grossly deceiving
Nigerians or taking the country for a ride with series of lies. But this is a
different case.
“I have confidence in the acting
president and there is no justification to doubt him or Hajiya Buhari,’’ the
former gubernatorial candidate under the defunct CPC-Lagos said.
He, however, noted that if the
presidency was playing politics with the President’s health, they should be
warned and called to order to avert disgrace.
“If we are being deceived, that’s
another ball game entirely, which is worse than economic sabotage. “Nobody will
play with Nigerians mind and go scot free this time around.
“They should be called to order
to avert disgrace or a big disaster that may befall them if Nigerians should
detect any wrong doing or foul play.’’
