Buhari Not Treating ‘Mere’ Malaria- Ebonyi Gov

The governor of Ebonyi state, Dave Umahi, has said that he cannot predict the date President Muhammadu Buhari will return to the country because he is not treating “mere malaria”.

He made the statement following his visit, alongside six other All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors to Buhari in London.

Governor Umahi said that contrary to reports on the social media, the president’s recuperation is going on smoothly.

“We met a cheerful president whose level of recovery is a miracle. We know he will soon return home as soon as his doctors certify him to do so. What he’s treating is not mere malaria that we can say he will return today or tomorrow,” he said.

“However, we are happy and we thank God for what we saw. It is contrary to the pictures people are painting on the social media. The president we saw is recuperating well and we are happy for that.

“It is even better that, we as members of the opposition party, are among the entourage. Nigerians should continue to pray for the president,” he added.
