Update Nigerians On President's Health, Shehu Sani Urges Presidency

Senator Shehu Sani has urged the presidency to disclose the true health of President Muhammadu Buhari who has been on a medical vacation for more than 48 days. He said this is to avoid unnecessary speculations and rumours about the president's health.

He also called on Nigerians to focus on national issues rather than on superficial and mundane things.

In a Facebook post yesterday, the Senator representing Kaduna Central wrote, "There is nothing wrong with the president sending Sallah message in Hausa language. He is on medical vacation, he has transferred power to the acting President. It is the acting president that is bound to act ‘officially’ on state matters, including speaking in ‘Our official language,” Sani said.
 

"Understandably, we live in times when everything is sensitive and subject to interrogation and interpretation; this is avoidable," he said further.

"Let’s pray for our president and our country and work hard to surmount our challenges rather than harp on the superficial and the mundane. 

The presidency should also periodically update the nation on the progress of Mr. President’s health so as to neutralise the conjectures, speculations and ripples of rumour," the lawmaker added.
