Ignore Fayose's Silly And Reckless Statement, Buhari Is Fit For Presidency - APC To Nigeria

The APC Presidential Campaign Organization has asked Nigerians to ignore what it called the “utterly silly and reckless statement” credited to the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose to the effect that General Muhammadu Buhari does not enjoy good health.

The Ekiti State gover­nor had claimed that the APC presidential candi­date was looking frail and further claimed that Gen­eral Muhammadu Buhari would not be able to cope with the physical rigours of the Presidency.

But the APC Campaign Organization in a statement yesterday also dismissed as “unsolicited, reckless and silly” the allegation that former President Obasanjo was planning an imposition of General Buhari on Nigeria as he allegedly did the late President Yar’Adua while ignoring their health conditions.

“GMB is fit as a fiddle,” said Garba Shehu, the Spokesman of the organization. 

“He has no known ailment and he is in excellent condition to pilot the affairs of the country.” 

The statement added that Buhari is “almost a health freak,” who exercises regularly and undergoes medical examinations at regular intervals. 

“On each occasion, the outcomes of those medicals have been favorable. The recent medicals he did gave him a clean bill of health,” Garba said. 

“GMB is not given to curses otherwise he would have done as the late President Nnamdi Azikiwe did when a simi­lar mischief played out over his health. Zik swore that whoever did this to him would expire before him, and they all did.”
