Ekiti State Governor and Chairman, PDP Governors Forum, Ayo Fayose, has called on Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to disclose the true health status of President Muhammadu Buhari or he will release 11 pictures of the ailing President.

Addressing journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, he insisted that the President is critically ill, contradicting Osinbajo that the President is recuperating.

It’s been 65 days since the President proceeded on indefinite medical leave in London.

The governor who insisted that the president is incapacitated, challenged the acting President to display pictures and short videos of his meeting with the President in London last Tuesday, just as he described Osinbajo’s visit as diversionary.

Fayose said: “We pray for his (Buhari’s) health and for him to come back in one piece. However, the claim of the acting President that Buhari is recuperating fast is not true. The president is incapacitated, sick. There is no iota of truth that the President is in good condition.

“In this age of technology, Osinbajo should be able to show Nigerians pictures and short videos of the President to show that he is okay. Nigerians want to see their President.

“The acting President’s statement that Buhari is okay is not true, it is far from the truth. president Buhari is very sick, critically sick. The President is critically ill.”

When asked on the authenticity of his information he said “Again, if they are not careful, I will release some pictures. This will in turn create so many serious problems for this country. And I’m telling you again that I don’t need to prove anything to Nigerians because they are saying the President is well. He’s hale and hearty. He has refused to come home in about 70 days.

“The office of the President and office of the government are offices that encourage the office holders to perform. A President that has spent so much time outside the country in a year shows clearly that this sickness is major.

“If they go further and try to continue to deceive Nigerians, I will release about 11 damaging pictures anytime from now on the President’s health.”

Fayose recalled that he warned Nigerians in 2015 about the health condition of the President, noting with regret that his warning was ignored.

He stressed that whenever he asked about the health condition of the President, “they will say you are asking too much. but now, we have been able to establish that the President is on life support”.

He added “I’m not going to prove that to Nigerians. It is him (Osinbajo) who said he saw the President that needs to prove to Nigerians. I have made the allegations and I have said it expressly that we are in the age of technology. How so we have an Acting President of a nation that has visited his boss that cannot show evidence of the meeting. The picture they are posting on social media are pictures taken long time. You recall that I said this again at Transcorp Hilton in 2015.

“We are talking about President of 170million people. The Acting President visiting, the President that has left this country for about 60 days or more cannot show evidence of the meeting. It shows the President is in critical condition.”

The Governor therefore repeated his call on President Buhari to step aside and allow Nigeria to move on.

When asked if the Governors have made efforts to visit the President in London, Fayose said that each time they had made efforts towards that direction, they were always meeting brickwall. (BusinessDay)
