Buhari is not in UK hospital, He is "Hale and Hearty" – Lai Mohammed Insists

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is not in hospital in the UK.

He made this statement, while responding to questions from State House correspondents, after Wednesday’s weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, which was presided over by Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo.

He said Buhari was not in any hospital and that there was no need “to be giving bulletin” on his health status.

Mohammed also insisted that the President was “well, hale and hearty” and not in any danger health-wise.

He pointed out that if all was not well, his cabinet members would have been panicking and not going about their normal duties.

Buhari sent a letter to the National Assembly on Sunday, extending his 10-day vacation in the UK, to enable him complete and receive test results from his doctors.
