President Off To London On 10-day Leave

President Muhammadu Buhari will take 10 days off and travel to London on Monday, June 6th to rest.
This is contained in a statement issued by his special adviser, media, Mr. Femi Adesina.

According to the two paragraph statement, during the holiday, he will see an E.N.T. specialist for a persistent ear infection. The President was examined by his Personal Physician and an E.N.T Specialist in Abuja and was treated. Both Nigerian doctors recommended further evaluation purely as a precaution.



We can recall that the presidency last week refuted media reports that President  Buhari is sick.

Presidential spokesman Adesina had said the whole country saw the president when he received some dignitaries at the presidential villa in Abuja during the week.

“Didn’t you see pictures of him receiving Anglican bishops yesterday (Friday)? Did he look sick? The president is as fit as a fiddle. Anyone who says he is sick is telling lies,”

“That is a figment of the person’s imagination. Just yesterday he received the primate of the Anglican Communion and arch bishops at the presidential villa. He also received former President Olusegun Obasanjo. He is hale and hearty.  The imagination of whoever says that is on overdrive.”

According to  reports by an online medium, President Buhari is ill and is being treated at the presidential villa.

The president has an infection in his left ear, otherwise called Meniere Disease, a challenge which has drastically reduced his outings in the last one week.

As a result of the infection, the president now suffers hearing impairment and routinely complains of severe pains and unusual sounds from that ear.
