I was shocked at the state I met President Buhari in London – Okorocha

The Imo State Governor,
Rochas Okorocha has
described as false, the
speculation that President
Muhammad Buhari is
critically ill and on life
support.
Mr. Okorocha, who is also
APC Governors Forum
Chairman was part of
some APC governors and
chieftains who visited
President Buhari at the
Abuja house in London on
Sunday.
“Before I left Nigeria,
there was a lot of
speculations that the
president is on life
support, coming from
different angles and this
left most Nigerians
confused.
“To my greatest shock, I
arrived London with the
party chairman, Governor
of Kaduna, Kogi,
Nassarawa, minister of
transport and we saw a
man that was full of
humour as usual and I was
wondering where people
were getting what they
are talking about,” Mr.
Okorocha said in an
interview with Channels
Television on Tuesday.
Mr. Okorocha said
President Buhari is in good
health and is not on life
support.
“He is not even in the
hospital,” he added.
“I was thinking I was going
to see him in the hospital,
but he was just at home
relaxing and I think the doctors must
have insisted that he get some rest.
“When I made inquiries on why he is
not yet back home, all I get was that
He is just taking some vitamins to
increase his appetite.
“He is in good spirit and I think the
prayers of Nigerians have worked to a
great extent and he is coming back in
full force.”
A statement by the presidency , which
provided a photograph, gave the
names of those who met with the
president to include Mr. Okorocha, as
well as Governors Umaru Al-Makura
of Nasarawa, Nasir El-Rufai of
Kaduna, Yahaya Bello of Kogi, and the
APC National Chairman, John Oyegun.
Mr. Buhari has spent 79 days in
London on medical vacation for a yet
to be disclosed ailment.
The recent trip came about two
months after the president returned
to Nigeria from an earlier trip to
London, where he also spent about 50
days.
Apart from the recent trip by Mr.
Okorocha and other APC leaders, the
Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, also
recently visited Mr. Buhari in the
British capital.
Mr. Osinbajo, after the visit, said the
president was recuperating fast and
would return soon.
The presidency also announced on
Tuesday that six other governors
would visit the president in London
on Wednesday.
In his interview on Channels TV on
Tuesday, Mr. Okorocha said Nigerians
should be more concerned about the
president’s next actions after his
return.
“Nigerians should be talking about
what would be his next line of action
when he returns and what we are to
expect when he arrives,” he said.
