Charles Oputa a.k.a Charly Boy
The convener of "Our Mumu Don Do" group, Charles Oputa a.k.a Charly Boy, the convener of Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju, has written an interesting piece to Nigerians. Read in full below...
1. In the last 24 hours, reports have emanated from different
sources that during the course of his 94-day medical sojourn in the
United Kingdom, President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) has received treatment
for an undisclosed form of cancer. These reports state that this
treatment includes chemotherapy and go further to declare that President
Buhari has become affected thereby to the point where he has severe
difficulty communicating with the medical personnel treating him as well
as close aides and family who are around him.
2. These reports are difficult to confirm or refute because of
the secrecy with which President Buhari's aides have handled
information related to his illness. The reports are deeply disturbing
and are a source of grave concern. Even more disturbing is the fact that
there are several conspiracy theories circulating as to the state of
health the president and how the secrecy behind his ailment persists
only to favor the cabals and influence peddlers playing chess with the
lives of 200million Nigerians.
3. It is in this light that we ask the Presidency to clear the
air by providing full disclosure of the details of the illness which
the President suffers from and the nature of treatment he is undergoing
to combat such illness.
4. Nigerians will recall that for a long time, false
information has been peddled around parts of the country that President
Buhari was poisoned. Therefore, It is imperative to point out that only
full disclosure of the details of the President’s ill-health will put an
end to reports of this nature and prevent the sort of social upheaval
the lack of information may cause.
5. Finally, we have read the statement made by the Senior
Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity, Alhaji
Garba Shehu, to the effect that our demands for full disclosure and
resignation upon confirmation of incapacitation are an attempt to
distract the government from the fight against corruption.
It is shameful that this pedantic sort of reasoning is still being
applied to critical issues at this point of our national history. At no
point has any correlation been made between our demands on President
Buhari's health status and the fight against corruption.
Therefore, and for the avoidance of doubt, we urge the government
to continue the fight against corruption by arresting, prosecuting and
securing the conviction of any person or group of persons who are found
guilty of looting the nation's treasuries. At the same time, we urge the
government to ensure it fully discloses the details of President
Buhari’s illness.
