Former Abia State Governor and a Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said that he was sad over the false news circulating around the nation, over the health of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Kalu, who said he just back from a visit to the President in London, said such falsehood about Buhari’s health was inhuman, and not in the best interest of the country.
While addressing reporters at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos, he said he has first-hand information about the health of the President.
His words: “I went to Washington DC, United States, to visit some business partners, and from there stopped over in London to see the President, who is recovering very fast. I am excited over the state of health of President Buhari, despite the hate-messages people were spreading about him.
“I am disappointed with the statement coming from some Nigerians about the health of the President. The messages some Nigerians have been spreading in the social media are unhealthy. I am calling on Nigerians to have a change of heart.”
The former Governor said further, that it would be wrong to embark on assessment of the duties of the Acting President, whom he said, was carrying out constitutional duties and should continue to do so.
Kalu, who noted that the Buhari-led government had done well in the fight against insurgency and the war against corruption, said: “The government has done well, but there is a lot of suffering in the land. The masses are suffering; going through economic problems. The administration has done well, but must obey the laws of the land, by respecting judicial processes. Government must pursue the hardware and software of democracy, and that includes the rule of law and respect for the Constitution.”
