Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun on Monday said that it will be out of place for him to speak on President Muhammadu Buhari’s health status, affirming that he wasn’t the President’s spokesman.
Amosun who visited the President in the United Kingdom told Journalists during an event at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta that Buhari is “well and okay”.
According to Amosun, “Yes it is true I visited our president in London and he is doing fine. If you ask me pointedly whether I saw him or not, yes I did and that is the only thing that I can say. And of course you can see he is very well, he is okay. So I don’t know what else you want me to say”.
On the President’s health status, Amosun said: “I am not one of the spokespersons of Mr. President; so it will be out of place for me to talk on that. But then, they are doing their job and you’ve listened to all that they have said”.
Recall that, shortly after Buhari embarked on his vacation few weeks ago; rumour had it that he was dead.
This was further fuelled by the fact that Buhari, who was expected back in the country last week Sunday, following the completion of his vacation, sent a letter to the National Assembly same day, extending his 10-day vacation in the United Kingdom, UK to enable him complete and receive medical results.
