Three insiders in the Presidency have told SaharaReporters that President Muhammadu Buhari is being fed intravenously as he has had severe difficulty eating and drinking fluids for several days.
The sources also disclosed that, although President Buhari's health had held up for a while after his return from an extended medical vacation in the United Kingdom, his condition has deteriorated in the last several weeks. They pointed to Mr. Buhari's eating and drinking problems that have left him too frail to leave his official residence at Aso Rock Villa to attend any official functions.
Mr. Buhari has been unable to attend the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting three weeks in a row. Last week he also failed to attend the Friday Juma'at prayers because he had to undergo urgent medical treatment that had him confined to a medical room secretly set up inside the residential area of the villa.
President Buhari was also conspicuously absent from the wedding of his influential personal aide, Tunde "Idiagbon" Sabiu in Kaduna. The wedding, which was attended by political movers and shakers of the Nigerian society, became a scene for curious political power play. It became clear at the wedding that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was treated in a different light by opposing political interests present at the wedding. While some of them showed deference to Mr. Osinbajo, others seemed to pay him scant attention, even to the point of shunning his presence.
SaharaReporters learned that Mr. Buhari's British doctors had sent a medical team to the Villa to attend to him. However, our sources revealed that the medical team advised that the president should immediately return to the United Kingdom to begin what they described as a slow, complex and long-term treatment that could prolong his life.
Four weeks ago, SaharaReporters disclosed that an advance team from the Presidency traveled to the UK to prepare for Mr. Buhari's imminent arrival there for medical treatment. However, following moves by a cabal opposed to their potential loss of political influence, the advance was recalled to Abuja. Our sources named Chief of Staff Abba Kyari as the anchor of the cabal which also includes Mamman Daura, a businessman, and Mr. Buhari's kinsman.
A week later, members of the Presidency's advance team were once again issued with fresh tickets to travel via Ethiopian Airlines, with the plan that Mr. Buhari would depart to the UK on April 15th 2017 for a four-month-long medical sojourn.
However, members of the cabal that wields enormous power in the Presidency, have so far frustrated the President's trip.
The Nigerian president and his handlers have declined to reveal the nature of the ailment that has hobbled Mr. Buhari over several months, rendering him incapable of attending to matters of state with any regularity much less vigor. However, different sources close to him told Saharareporters that, in addition to prostrate issues, Mr. Buhari is also dogged by Crohn’s disease, a medical condition that has affected his digestive system.
Our various sources have said that Mr. Buhari's Crohn's disease has had a devastating impact because of the president's age. One source stated that Mr. Buhari, whose official age is 74, may well be much older. At any rate, his bouts of illness have had a telling effect on him, leaving him gaunt, emaciated, feeble and debilitated.
One of our sources knowledgeable about President Buhari's condition alleged that there was a massive coverup orchestrated by a few aides and cronies of the ailing Nigerian leader to fool the Nigerian public. "They feel that if he [President Buhari] travels abroad, they will lose the power and influence they wield when he is town," the source said. However, the source accused the cabal of being myopic and shortsighted, adding that they were fast-tracking the president's demise by blocking his trip for treatment abroad.
Our sources described the cabal as hellbent on throwing Nigeria into a political crisis in a bid to protect their selfish interests.

I keep seeing 'Cabal' here and there 🤔😂😬.Mr President Sir, what have you gotten yourself into?
ReplyDeleteShameless people! How many times has UK politicians travelled to Nigeria or anywhere else for medical treatment? Long hiss.
DeleteMy thoughts exactly. Cabal everywhere. Get well soon all the same.
DeleteI heard 19 northern govs, IBB and Gen Abdulsalam Abubakar are in an emergency meeting in Aso Rock right now. Don't know how true it is...
DeleteThey should let this man resign in peace and face his health
DeleteHe said Yar'adua should resign if he couldn't rule as president since he was sick and absent. I'd say he should bloody well do same and not waste our time.
DeleteThe nature of the illness is simply OLD AGE.
ReplyDeleteIt's normal.
We live.
We grow.
We age.
We die.
Tough but true.
But still in still, get well soon Mr. President.
How I wish you accepted the wisest advice to resign and rest.
But......
Exactly!
DeleteBuh Why is POWER like dis??
May God Grant Him Quick Recovery Sha!
Lord pls heal him.....
DeleteThat man has prostrate cancer. It is very common amongst black men of 50 and above. That is why they tell men from that age to get their prostrate checked every 6 months.
DeleteI know someone that died of this same thing in the UK.he didn't even tell ppl but he had lost so much weight and looked frail like BuhAri.
My colleagues dad also had it but survived because of early detection. He was on chemo for 1yr in the US.
BuhAri shld take time off leave his seat and treat himself.
Illness that comes with old age is what I see here
ReplyDeleteBuhari was a military man and he used his body a lot when he was younger so it's all telling on him
He needs medical attention to stay alive
Does he even cherish his life or is all about power?
Resign honorably and go take care of yourself without people being all up in your business
The so called cabal are made up of wicked, and crude old men
So power mean a lot to some people than their health?
I'm dumbfounded.
Yeye people.
DeleteIf he resigns how will he get presidential burial?
DeleteCabals ndi mmuo, Oku mmuonso re gbuo ha dere
ReplyDeleteLmao
DeletePipi yo onye yardi m, ogini ka ina ako? Kwakwakwa! I dont even know whether to pity baba at this stage or not, for anything wrong with him atm has to do with old age coupled with naija wahala but pride is just at work. Tooooh! However, its well o!
DeleteYou can't send almajiri soldiers to kill umu afo and remain the same. Uztaz, you're on your way to hell.
ReplyDeleteKikikikikiki...
DeleteGbam!...
Who made you God to judge who is going to hell? isn't your statement sinful? all you sinners acting like divine judges....
DeleteYou get sharp mouth cos you wan trend abi, I pray for long life for you but I hope you realise that a young person can die before an oldman. Issues of life and death master God hand e dey o.
DeleteMay the Lord heal our President and help our nation.
Hahahaha... @Blunt I am so loving ur comment.
DeleteI knew from the very moment Buhari started orchestrating the Islamic agenda that he was doomed. U can't fight the people of God and not die like a fowl. God resists the wicked and proud. Ewu Fulani.
Yinmu @ stella's prayer....the man should resign, nigeria is not is personal business, they are thousand and one people that can the job, abi them plant em placenta dia.
ReplyDeleteAsk me oh!...
DeleteHe who the gods wants to kill they first make deaf. IYE
DeleteIt is well Mr President. Please leave that seat, you need to rest!
ReplyDeleteI tell u @cynthia, he needs rest! And his family members are not doing anything. May God heal him.
DeleteNot only rest but he needs to go and sort out his health.I don't know why Africans are like this. We hold on to power as if it is life and death and then God forbid if anything happens to him, he will still vacate the seat.
DeleteGod this is sad if this is true.... Lord please heal our president for us please
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for 2019.
ReplyDeleteThe man should resign already!
DeleteLol @ send ur healing touch to our president😂
ReplyDeleteHe needs to resign so that he can take careful of himself .
DeleteBut power too sweet..
He should step down for health reasons.
ReplyDeletedoes it matter anymore?
Deletestepping down doesn't guarantee good health.
Pipilee it does o, once he steps down to take care of himself, he might be fine. You think it's easy to be a president ?
DeleteOk o
DeletePmb abegggggg resign now possess.
ReplyDeleteResign when they are yet to empty the treasury.
Delete**please #
ReplyDeleteBubu you shall not die. You are healed in Jesus name. Nigeria loves you, we are praying for youuu! Anybody that wishes him dead needs deliverance all he has tried to do is to restructure this country that past government's destroyed. None the less I think you should resign.
ReplyDeleteSo many selfish forces working against this man. This is so unfortunate. May God help you sir. Your intention was good but the strength to carry on is weak.
DeleteWhich Nigeria loves him?...
DeleteSpeak about your self...
We are speaking for ourselves,we love Buhari ❤
Deletewe love Buhari. you hatred for him and the north has stopped you from seeing the truth and his good intentions.
DeleteYinmu.
DeleteIf you love ❤ him so dearly help him to stay alive by convincing him to resign
This so called queen is a shameless tribal bigot. The only good people as far as she is concerned are Igbo people, and she is not living in igboland. Smh
DeleteRestructioning for 2yrs fa?
DeleteThe only thing they have done succesfully is Zahras wedding.
I
We need a new president Asap.... Buhari u need to resign and rest...
ReplyDeleteOk naw...as hunger was finish some ppl,sickness is ready to finish you!Wicked and heartless man.
ReplyDeleteKwakwakwakwa...
DeleteIji Okwu mehn...
Deep sigh....this man is old, itnis well with him
ReplyDeleteFeel so sad right now, just want him well
ReplyDeleteYinmu...
DeleteMr.President
ReplyDeleteI really feel for you.
I really really feel for you.
How about he steps down, makes Osibanjo President, then appoint an Igbo Man/Hausa man for Vice President.
I think Old age has really gotten into Babu's life.!!
He should do the needful.
All those allies present in the National Assembly will definitelygive them tough time.
They just want corruption to come back. Since they don't have any means of stealing funds again. They are really frustrated with him that he has handicapped most of them from stealing funds.
See the way they refused to approve the chairman of EFCC's appointment.
A won dry bones!!!
Let me not start writing epistle because of these people.
Hahahahahahahaha! But you have written epistle naaa lol! But you made some valid point.
DeleteMay God help us.
Power intoxicates and absolute power intoxicates absolutely. It is hard for some people to relinquish power once they've tasted it. IYE
DeleteGod please help our President.
ReplyDeletePlease God help him I wish you well even when I can't fine help or work people keep saying for this Nigeria recession but our president I think you should resign and get rest God please heal him
ReplyDeleteThe country we live in where the well-being of a people is manipulated by illiterate fools........
ReplyDeleteIf he can resign it will be better, so he can treat himself very well cos nigerias problems are much
ReplyDeleteWill the do or die syndrome allow him to resign?
DeleteThey're all about their selfish interests. In a sane society, this kind of leadership will never be obtainable. What are our senators and reps doing to handle the situation self cos last time I checked, the executive is answerable to the legislature, at least na wetin my government teacher tell me. Abi dem don change that one? BTW, where is TGW? Haven't seen her comments in a while.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that Saraki will want is for him to become President, he is not interested in the stability of the system but his own ambition
DeleteSo they cant even afford to get a direct flight to London for the advance team? Imagine.
ReplyDeleteCan Mr President go take care of his health and leave that seat for now?
ReplyDeleteWhat use is he to us being locked up in a room apart from them making sure he isn't away from the country too long to be removed?
Who are the Cabals btw?
This is 17 years ago all over again. The Cabals are still in control.
It is well with you Mr President.
ReplyDeleteMay God heal our land.
#Make God famous today!
Chai a man I love so much.....
ReplyDeleteResign and heal yourself Mr Buhari. You cannot hold Nigeria to ransom. Nothing is moving. Since you came into power Nigerians have suffered terribly hence the mass suicide. Please go and let a young and vibrant person move this country forward. Just imagine- all the offices you can think of occupied by Fulanis, especially those from his place Daura. The worst president we ever had
ReplyDeleteThreatening Nigerians about 2015 elections. Come and rule nau. mtcheew.
ReplyDeleteHe should just resign and enjoy his old age. He can't be sick this way and think properly.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the arms of government doing? Are they also controlled by the cabal?
ReplyDeleteBuhari should honourably resign to take care of his health........Abi na by force ni.......
ReplyDelete#Loyalty is hard to find. When you find it, keep it*
ReplyDeleteHere is the problem, "his age". You cannot cut a decade or more off from your age and expect drug/s which is/are for younger age to work on you. In the western world drugs are administered according to one's age.
ReplyDeleteHe better tell them his real age so to know the kind of medicine best for his age. One can't be at maybe late thirties and be claiming early twenties, Dr will end up prescribe a medication for one in his/her twenties without it having any cure for the patient because the system is more stronger than the medication.
That's btw. He should as well resign and take care of his health if he so much love his family.

Bia cnt his wife forget abt d opinion of the so call cabal and shamelesy cary ha husband to Britain since no hospital in the whole of naija can handle his health issue. She is d one dat wil b cald widow God forbid sha if any thing happends. May God heal him I pray.
ReplyDeleteResign and good care of yourself and enjoy the remaining years you have with your famimy. Shikena
ReplyDeleteHe may have some sort of cancer ...., how sad
ReplyDeleteNigerians love Buhari. You are not Nigerian, you are biafran so shut up and mind your business.
ReplyDeleteThis chim_oma chim_oma is one big fool
ReplyDeleteI won't even waste my energy in trying to school him or her
I thought Amaechi said he is very fit for 2nd term.
ReplyDeleteIt's like Aisha will rather be a widow than leave her first lady position.
N.a. them know. They said he is very well and not sick, so who shld we pray for.
I see cabal, aides and cronies...
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame.
As much as I'm sympathetic to the President's health condition, I'm also indifferent.
You've got aides and cronies that are as power-hungry as you. And I'm sure they are mostly Northerners.
Who died and made these people lord of all or should I say rulers of Nigeria?
The same set of people have been ruling this country for decades (some silently)and have refused to give up power!
No one should come fart under my comment citing tribalism cos that's not what I'm about.
I'm just sick and tired of the same old bull crap.
You're an adult for chrissakes; you need a bunch of doctors or anyone to tell you to step down cos of your failing health?
But no, can't relinquish power to someone else.
Parading British doctors... omg. Story for another day.
Before becoming President, were these health issues there? There you go.
I just have a prayer: Lord, destroy the cabals and everyone who has a hand in turning this great country into a nightmare. Yes!
I'm on no one's side.
May God spare the life of our president and restore his health in Jesus name. Amen
