Mr. Buhari, who has not made any public appearance in two weeks, is described as greatly emaciated, according to two sources knowledgeable about his condition. Despite statements by the government a few days that the president had “resumed work,” Mr. Buhari remains holed up in his official residence.
Apprehension within the Presidential Villa about the president’s condition was heightened yesterday as the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, was seen moving a lot of documents out of the villa. Our sources said it was unclear why Mr. Kyari made the move to take away documents to an unknown location.
A Presidency source told SaharaReporters that the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) has set up a “safe house” in Abuja where Mr. Buhari is being treated by a relay of mostly foreign doctors.
Even though President Buhari and his aides have refused to divulge the nature of his ailment, SaharaReporters learned several months ago that the Nigerian leader is ravaged by Crohn’s Disease, an intestinal disorder. He is also known to have prostate issues as well as age-related disorders, including early-stage dementia. Mr. Buhari’s official age is listed as 74, but he is widely believed to be much older.
One of our sources disclosed that Mr. Buhari was slated to leave Nigeria on May 10 for another medical trip to Britain. However, the arrival today of a new set of medical doctors to attend to him might be a further attempt by a cabal of some of his closest associates to frustrate his departure from Nigeria. Members of the cabal controlling events around the President include the Director General of the Directorate of State Security (DSS), Lawal Daura, Mr. Buhari’s powerful nephew, Mamman Daura, his Personal Secretary, Tunde “Idiagbon” Sabiu, a businessman, Isa Funtua, Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, and Babagana Kingibe, a former Secretary to the Government who was the running mate to Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
Some members of the Buhari administration accuse the cabal of opposing Mr. Buhari’s foreign medical trip for fear that his absence would cost them political influence.

ReplyDeleteMy princess,stop wasting your prayers on this person!...
DeleteGreedy lots. Using Nigeria to play football all in the name of power and affluence. They better stay alive forever.
ReplyDeleteWe pray he does not die. Never good to wish ppl dead but if the inevitable should happen, will all those ones running around to hide documents or move documents from angle A to angle B still remain there to steal?
DeleteOMG!!...
ReplyDeleteNigeria is in a deep mess!...
How did we get here?...
I just don't want to imagine the kind of money they have spent in bringing these doctors in!...
Money that is meant to revive our economy is being wasted!...
Rubbish!!..
Very deep something.
DeleteHow can a people not be properly informed on the health status of their leader.
They're just busy playing us hankypanky
It would've been better they fly him abroad for treatment.
All them mouth makers, where are they?
Criticising what you cannot even handle
Nigeria is running on autopilot..
DeleteContinue to rest on Late President Umaru....
ReplyDeleteReno is publishing a book on Jonathan's tenure/the chibok bruohaha...
Well since 'they' won't release a detailed statement on the President's health, it is better we talk about other things.
Get well Mr president.
ReplyDeleteMeaning the president should be like age 84years.he is suppose to be resting and not stressing himself
Deletethis man just wants to die as the president of naija, he will not go and treat himself, I hope he gets well sha
ReplyDeleteBubu should die already
ReplyDeleteYou should say 'three more doctors' arrive in Abuja. Some Specialists have been attending to him but it seems its so bad now and they had to request for more hands to come down. If its so bad, they should fly him out. I just pity him. Its not easy.
ReplyDeleteWell if he is slated to leave on the 10th, maybe they came to stabilise him enough to make that trip.
ReplyDeleteThe money 💵 this aboki is spending on his health is enough to equip our hospital 🏥
ReplyDeleteOkay. Let fate happen
ReplyDeleteit is crystal clear that a lot of people benefit from the presence of the ailing president in the country and it is really inhuman to see your fellow man suffer for your own gains especially when it comes to wielding power. But what do we know, its a strategy for those seeking power and would do anything to retain it...
ReplyDeleteI Am Just A PasserBy
This is CHANGE. They voted for it. Nevertheless Jesus heals
ReplyDeleteYea He does heal.
DeleteHmmmm.....gheghe, we will sha see how all this hide and seek game will end.......issorite
