We’ll Rely on 3rd Party Information to Update Nigerians on Buhari’s Health – Presidential SSA, Garba Shehu

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has said that the presidency would rely on third party information on Buhari’s health status in London.

While speaking during a Channels TV programme, Sunrise Daily, on Tuesday, Garba Shehu, the Presidential Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, said the media team would rely on third party information on President Muhammadu Buhari’s health status while he remains in London.
The presidential spokesman made the revelation when he was asked if he would be joining the President in London in order to be updating Nigerians on development concerning Buhari’s health.
Shehu who disclosed that he would not join the President in London because he (Buhari) is entitled to his privacy, added that the media team would rely on the information that would be made available by those with the President.
“No. I don’t think I will go. I hope the President has the privacy that he needs with his doctors and regains his health. We will continue to rely on third party from my own point of view,” he said.
The 74-year-old President on Sunday evening, departed from Abuja to London for medical consultation, making it the second time he would be proceeding on medical leave this year.
Buhari had left the country on January 19th on what the Presidency described then as a medical vacation.
