The biggest evidence yet that President Muhammadu Buhari, may not be bedridden as widely speculated and touted by some opposition Politicians, following the purported meeting he held with the All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors, in London, on Sunday, has allegedly distabilised some members of the Peoples Democratic Party.

All efforts to contact Fayose and Fani-Kayode, proved abortive, as the phone lines of their Media Aides were switched off, since the news of the purported visit to the ailing President, broke out.

Recall, that a statement authored by by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, revealed that some APC Governors, led by the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, paid Buhari a visit in London, on Sunday.

Buhari’s absence from the country has generated much controversy among Nigerians, with some calling for his resignation, and others asking the Federal Executive Council, FEC, and the National Assembly, to institute the process for the independent verification of the President’s health.

From the opposition end, former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, and the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, both prominent leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have been especially vocal and stringent in their criticism of the President and his handlers, over his health and repeated medical vacation.

Fayose had only recently, claimed that the President was on life-support in London, adding that, he had ample evidence to back up his claim.

He also strongly dismissed the comments of the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, where he claimed the President was in high spirits, and was recuperating fine, after his short visit to him.

Fani-Kayode had also in like manner, alleged that Buhari’s illness was incapacitating and protracted, and contended that comments claiming the contrary were the product of sycophancy and a calculated attempt at deceiving the people.
