A
Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Femi Falana and 12 other rights activists have
called on President Muhammadu Buhari to proceed on a medical vacation to attend
to his ill-health.
In
a statement, jointly signed by Falana as well as Professor Jibrin Ibrahim, Debo
Adeniran, Dr. Chris Kwaja, Y. Z. Ya’u, Chom Bagu, Olanrewaju Suraju, Ezenwa
Nwagwu, Anwal Musa Rafsanjani, David Ugolor, ‘Sina Odugbemi, Muhammed Attah and
Adetokunbo Mumuni, said when the president returned from his medical vacation
to the United Kingdom, he disclosed that he had never been that sick in his
entire life.
The
rights activists said “Due to the apparent deterioration in the president’s
condition, he has neither been seen in public in the last one week nor attended
the last two meetings of the Federal Executive Council. His absence at the last
Jumat service in the villa has fuelled further speculations and rumours on
President Buhari’s medical condition.”
The
activists lamented that instead of embarking on a regular briefing on the actual
state of the health of the president, government officials continue to assure
Nigerians that there was no need for apprehension over the matter.
“As
we join the Nigerian people of goodwill to pray for a speedy recovery of
President Buhari, we are compelled to advise him to heed the advice of his
personal physicians by taking a rest to attend to his health without any
further delay,” the statement said
