Following the controversy surrounding the vacation of President
Muhammadu Buhari, the Minister
of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed,
has declared that the President was a victim of his own transparency.
Mohammed made the declaration while addressing State House
Correspondents after yesterday’s Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting
at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Noting that the President while embarking on his vacation informed
the National Assembly and transmitted power to his Vice, Mohammed said
it was surprising that Buhari was pronounced dead by some people, less
than six hours after he arrived London.
Mohammed lamented that even those who saw the President aboard the
aircraft in Abuja en route London, claimed that he was flown to UK in an
air ambulance.
According to the Minister, “Mr. President, like I said elsewhere, is
probably a victim of his own transparency. He was going on leave, he did
what the constitution said he should do, transmitted it to the National
Assembly and Acting President was put in place. And he said `while I am
on leave, I am going to conduct some medical tests’ which many, or all
of us do without announcing it.’’
