APC presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari in the UK for treatment.

Hmmm! That's all I have to say.

press statement from Ekiti state...

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has said that the APC presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) who  travelled to the United Kingdom (UK) for medical treatment is being attended to at a London hospital, describing the medical trip as a vindication of his earlier stand that Buhari was sick and lacked the required capacity to rule Nigeria. 

He said; "as against the claim of the APC that Bihari was on a short working visit to the UK, Buhari is being treated at a hospital located at Cavendish Street, Cavendish Square, W2 London West End, London."

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor described claim by the APC that Buhari will give a talk at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, London as "deceit taken too far."

He said; "The event listed on Royal Institute of International Affairs website; http:// www.chathamhouse.org/eventsto hold on February 23 and 24 is; 'Security and Defence: Rising powers and the future of defence cooperation' and Buhari’s name is not listed among the speakers.

"For the avoidance of doubt; the event's keynote speakers are; former Brazil Minister of Defence,  Celsius Amorin; UK Parliamentary Under Secretary of State and Minister of Defence Equipment Support and Technology, Celsius Amorin; Chief of the Defence Staff, UK Ministry of Defence, General Sir Nicholas Houghton; Chief Executive of BAE System, Ian King and Secretary General, Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Dr Abdulatif Bin Rashid Al Zayani.

"Apart from the above listed five persons, 25 others are listed as speakers.

"So, in which Royal Institute of International Affairs' event is Buhari participating as a speaker?

"This is not to mock Buhari or which him death. Rather, it is to expose the falsehood of the APC  and desperation of its leaders, especially Senator Bola Tinubu to foist another Yar’Adua saga on Nigeria."

The governor maintained; "The truth is that Buhari travelled out on Thursday to seek medicare in UK and he was attended to at a hospital located in Cavendish Street, Cavendish Square, W2 London West End, London on Friday.

"If the APC people are saying otherwise, let them publish the picture of Buhari boarding the plane and granting interview to Aviation Correspondents at the Abuja Airport.

"While I am happy that the APC people that are packaging Buhari finally hearkened to my plea that they should allow him (Buhari) to seek medicare abroad, I  must say that it is unpatriotic for the APC to have lied that Buhari travelled on a working visit.

"The party should be honest enough to tell Nigerians that Buhari is actually sick and lack
capacity to rule Nigeria and that they are  only packaging him, hoping that he will become incapacitated if he becomes president so that they can take over power by proxy.
