Former President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Dr. Dozie Ikedife, has frowned at the manner in which the issue around Presidemt Muhammadu Buhari’s health is being handled by the Presidency.
He urged Nigerians to pray for the president so that he would get well soon and return to the country, even as he frowned at those wishing the president death.
He, however, expressed his displeasure over how the presidency is handling the president’s health situation.
“I’m not happy how the presidency is handling the comments coming out. That leaves a lot of speculations,” Ikedife said this his Nnewi residence in Anambra State.
“Generally, it is clear to me, from what is going on, that most Nigerians do not believe what is being dished out,” he added.
Ikedife, however, said there would be no need for the president to resign and hand over to Vice President Yemi Osibajo, if he (President Buhari) returned to Nigeria hale and hearty.
His words: “I have never heard it discussed or written in any constitution that the president of a country can never fall sick.
“So, I do not agree with those who are saying that he should resign when he comes back. I do not know why people are wishing Buhari death.
“President Buhari is not dead, to the best of my knowledge, and based on the information available to Nigerians.”
