“Rumors of the President’s health were generated by people of ill will, He is healthier than most young people” – Garba Shehu

Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu has expressed that President Muhammadu Buhari is infact more healthy than he is “rumored” to be. He said “the President is healthier than a lot of the young people who are attacking him on these matters”

Shehu said this in reaction to photos of the President during an outing in Belgium. He was pictured in a casual outfit when he received in audience the President of Guinea-Bissau H.E Umaro Sissoco Embalo on the sideline of the EU-African Union Summit in Brussels, Belgium.  

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television he said; “The president is keen. For us, what is most impressive here is that people are beginning to appreciate that the president is in good health and it was manifested from some of these pictures that they came across.

“That should dispel whatever fears that some people have. A lot of rumours concerning his health and all of that, generated by people of ill will; people who know nothing about these things. We keep saying this that the president is healthier than a lot of the young people who are attacking him on these matters. This continues to be proved by his outings as we have seen in Belgium.”
