Second Republic House of Representative member, Dr Junaid Mohammed, has expressed regret that Nigeria is being held to ransom by some cabals within the administration of President Buhari.
“The development regarding the President’s health is a very bad indication and it is unfortunate Nigeria has found itself in another quagmire.
“It is also unfortunate that Buhari and his handlers are trying to cause another constitutional crisis rather than telling Nigerians the truth.
“This development is similar to that of Yar’Adua when a cabal with the help of his wife held this country to ransom and deceived Nigerians”.
He said, “During Yar’Adua’s administration, 180 million Nigerians were taken for a ride. The same people in the Villa under Buhari have started towing the same path.
“I believe Nigerians should rise up against this if the Senate cannot impeach the President who now seems to be incapacitated and unable to discharge his duties as President of Nigeria”.
“It is now seen that the cabal do not want an end to this and that is why they keep playing us. These are some of the things we have seen ahead and have been shouting that Nigerians should be told the truth about the President’s health.
“I pray God saves Nigeria but Nigerians must take their own destiny into their hands,” he added.
Meanwhile, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has described the persons behind the rumours about the true state of health of President Muhammadu Buhari as “wicked and callous.”

rumour that he is dead.
rumour that he is dead.
“No matter what his health situation, maybe, we should pray for him to recover quick and come back stronger and better.
“For anyone wishing him dead, such person or group of persons is callous, wicked and treacherous. I was also rumored to have died almost 12 times.
“I don’t know what they derive from doing so, but, they should seek for forgiveness.
“Even if we know that the President is sick, he is in a better position to know what to say or what to do and not wishing him dead.
“We should just stop politicizing everything, especially with the elderly in the country.”
