Nigerians have no right to discuss Buhari’s health - Victor Attah

A former governor of Akwa Ibom state and one of the leaders of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, (PANDEF), Obong Victor Attah says Nigerians have no right to debates on the President’s health.

Victor Attah says nobody has the right to discuss the president's health. Nigerians should be satisfied with the president's words that he is going on a leave and medical check-up. Only the president’s doctor has the right to talk.

"Why should anybody debate the president’s health? The president

said he was going for vacation and medical check up and people are talking. Why should anyone be debating about that? Are they his doctors? Until it is established otherwise, I do not see why anybody should involve himself in such debates," he stated.

Attah, during an interview with Vanguard went further to claim that Nigerians are living a false life.

Attah said: "Let me start with the economy because that is the one that is bothering everybody. People are shouting we are hungry, inflation is high and all of that and nobody can say no. But sometimes, I quote Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, he made a very significant point that most people tend to either forget or ignore. Basically, he made it clear that we were all living falsely, above our means."

According an unconfirmed report, the President Buhari who was expected to resume today February 6 may need to stay in London up to four months to attend his medical issues. The president needs to undergo a major surgery that would force him to miss work for at least four months.
