Metro (UK) site quoted the Nigerian mission in the
country as confirming the president’s death.
The report claimed that Buhari visited the UK for
medical check over an unknown disease adding that
details of his death were still sketchy.
But in his reaction, Garba Shehu, Buhari’s
spokesperson, said: Garba Shehu , Buhari’s
spokesperson, said: “He is alive and well! President
Buhari is not magical. He cannot be holidaying in the
UK and be in Germany, dead or alive at the same time.
“He is unlike a past President who was at Ota, with
Chief Obasanjo and attending the Trump inauguration in
D.C, being in two places at the same time!”
Shehu's reaction is believed to be a mockery of the
fake report on Friday, January 20 that former
President Goodluck Jonathan was invited by the US
for the inauguration of Donald Trump when,
indeed, he was in Ogun state with his predecessor,
Olusegun Obasanjo.
Nigerians have since yesterday condemned Deji
Adeyanju, a spokesperson of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) for breaking the fake
report on social media.
In his reaction, Femi Adeshina, one of Buhari's aide
also reportedly said he would only say best wishes
to all who wish Buhari well while for those who
carry evil rumours, may they receive grace to
repent.
A check on the website that broke the report of the
death of President Buhari shows several other
stories in such manner.
A simple check of Alexa ranking shows that the site
is number 702,853 in the world, therefore, it may
not have been credible.
