Contrary
to speculations that President Muhammadu Buhari may have died, the
Minister of Information and Culture has said Acting President, Yemi
Osinbajo gets in touch with Buhari every day.
While speaking in an interview with Channels Television programme, 'Politics Today'
with Seun Okinbaloye, on Thursday night in Lagos, the Minister of
Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said that the Acting President,
Yemi Osinbajo gets in touch with Buhari every day.
According to the outspoken minister, the president has “so much trust” for his vice who is now the acting president, and also enjoys his maximum loyalty and confidence.
When asked if President Buhari is in support of the meetings the
Acting President is having with leaders of the North and South East amid
growing tension in both regions, the minister said there is no concern
about that.
He said, “The Acting President is daily in touch with Mr
President so I am very confident that Mr President is in the full know
of what the Acting President is doing and there is so much trust between
the acting president and the president I don’t think there should be an
area of concern at all.”
Commenting on the calls for the restructuring of Nigeria, Mohammed said that was not a priority for the government. “I have said at several fora that the priority of government right now is to keep this government one and safe.
“The priority is to revamp the economy and the priority of this
government right now is to ensure that we fight corruption and that we
put this country on a very stable footing. The issue of restructuring
might come later but right now it is not on our front burner,” he said.
Recall that we had reported
that a British politician and former military officer, Eric Stuart
Joyce, stirred up controversy over the health of President Muhammadu
Buhari when he challenged the President Buhari to prove he is alive and
recuperating.
