A fake medical report has been released online
claiming to show that the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari has cancer.
The obviously falsified report is dated October 16 2014 and states Buhari’s age as 72. However, the former Head of State turned 72 on December 7, almost two months later.
The
report also states the name of the hospital as “Ahmadu Bello Teaching
Hospital” but the real name is “Ahmadu Bello University Teaching
Hospital.”
Buhari’s Campaign Director, Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu has refuted the rumours of ill-health via a statement saying:
“It
(report of cancer) is untrue and condescending of its exponents. I have
it on good authority that GMB has not visited the Ahmadu Bello
University Teaching Hospital in the last five years. So, how can anyone
say that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last October, barely
three months ago?”
“This is the highest
point of political distraction, malice and mischief. The report was not
only fake but unfounded. I have spoken to impeccable sources at ABUTH
all of whom deny the report and also claimed that the letterhead used
was not their regular one, and that Dr. Bala Mohammed that purportedly
approved the false medical report is not on the personnel list of that
department.”
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose stated earlier that Buhari was being set up by former President, Olusegun Obasanjo to die in office just like late President, Umar Yar’adua.
