Buhari May Live Longer Than Those Peddling His Death Rumour —oshiomhole by chidavies blog: 2:59pmErstwhile
governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has described the
rumoured death of President Muhammadu Buhari as mischievous, saying the
rumour is an indication of a longer life for the President.
Oshiomhole,
who spoke during the bye-election conducted in Etsako Federal
constituency, yesterday, said he had been holidaying in his village at
Iyamho, which, according to him, will afford him the opportunity to
contribute his quota to the upliftment of his community.
The
former governor cautioned those spreading the rumour about the alleged
death of Buhari to remember what happened to those who initiated the
rumour about the death of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, a former ceremonial
president of Nigeria.
He recalled that all those in the burial committee for Azikiwe later died while the former politician was alive.
“If
Nigeria medical doctors find cause for you to go and do routine medical
check, why would anybody make it an issue that any Nigeria including
our President should be denied the right for a medical check? Why would
that be an issue and we like to speculate the worst? It is an
unnecessary controversy” Oshiomhole said.
“He is entitled to
his vacation and we have seen US President going to Camp David to have a
rest. We saw Cameron photograph wearing bikini with his wife in Spain
on vacation. If you journalists don’t go on vacation, it is because you
have not fought for your right to take out time from your work.”
On
how he has been spending his time outside office, Oshiomhole said he
has been enjoying good rest just as he said his life in office will be
detailed in his memoir.
