Three in the
presidency have told SR that President Muhammadu Buhari is being fed
intravenously as he has had severe difficulty eating and drinking fluids for
several
days.
days.
The sources
disclosed that, although Buhari's health had held up for a while after his
return from an extended medical vacation in the United Kingdom, his condition
has deteriorated in the last several weeks. They pointed to Mr. Buhari's eating
and drinking problems that have left him too frail to leave his official
residence at Aso Rock Villa to attend any official functions.
President
Buhari was also conspicuously absent from the wedding of his influential
personal aide, Tunde "Idiagbon" Sabiu in Kaduna. The wedding, which
was attended by political movers and shakers of the Nigerian society, became a
scene for curious political power play. It became clear at the wedding that
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was treated in a different light by opposing
political interests present at the wedding. While some of them showed deference
to Mr. Osinbajo, others seemed to pay him scant attention, even to the point of
shunning his presence.
According to
SR, Buhari's British doctors had sent a medical team to the Villa to attend to
him. However, our sources revealed that the medical team advised that the
president should immediately return to the United Kingdom to begin what they
described as a slow, complex and long-term treatment that could prolong his
life.
However,
members of the cabal that wields enormous power in the Presidency, have so far frustrated
the president's trip. Nigerians don't even know the nature of their president's
ailment.
