"Buhari Should Have Spoken In English"- Femi Falana Criticises Presidency

Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana (SAN) has criticised the manner the audio recording released by the presidency was handled. In the recording, President Buhari speaking in Hausa admonished Nigerians to shun all forms of divisiveness.

Speaking on Politics Today on Channels TV, Femi Falana said, " It is reassuring that the President has spoken, but it should have been better handled." He went further, " I think it was not well handled, the President should have spoken in the official language of Nigeria which is English." 

President Buhari has been away in the United Kingdom on medical vacation for 48 days now, and this is the first time the country has heard from him since then.

While this would go a long way to assuring Nigerians that the President is still alive, it raises more questions about the true state of the President's health as he sounded frail.
