The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation,
yesterday said the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, should take a brisk walk or jog around a stadium before any
of his rallies to prove his medical fitness.
However, the campaign team failed to produce any evidence to back up
their claims that Buhari is not fit to be president on health grounds.
Addressing a press conference yesterday, the director of media and
publicity of the presidential campaign organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode,
said that the rumours about the health status of Buhari had been circulating
before the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) declared him
healthy.
He said, “In this day and age, nothing ought to be swept under the
carpet. We are, therefore, constrained to urge him to prove to the Nigerian
people that he is really fit as a fiddle as the spokesman of his Presidential
Campaign Organisation has said, by taking a brisk walk or even jogging around
the perimeter of the stadium before any of his rallies.
“If he can do that, it will go a long way to allay fears of many.
Meanwhile, we wish him journey mercies as he travels out of the country for his
medical check-up.”
Noting that the Nigerian people deserve to know the truth before they
make their choices of who they will vote for as their president in February, he
said “the days of hiding things like a presidential candidate’s health status
from the Nigerian public are long over and we would urge General Buhari to
acknowledge this.”
