Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that if he were in the shoes of President Muhammadu Buhari, he will address the country through a video call.
The House Majority Leader said this in reaction to the level of concerns and controversies the President health status had generated across the country.
Gbajabiamila, who was responding to questions on Buhari’s prolonged medical vacation in London, said that if he was in the position to advise Buhari, he would also have advised him to talk to Nigerians publicly.

He said: “If I were in President Buhari’s shoes, I would do a video call to speak to Nigerians. I would advise him to do it, if I were in a position to advise him. But the fact that he has not done it does not mean that he is doing something wrong. People have different approaches to things.
“Don’t forget that about a week ago, Mr. President spoke to a congregation in Kano state, he was audible, he was clear, and his voice was not doctored.
“But for me, on the issue of speaking to Nigerians, I would have done it differently. My approach would have been different, because his health issue had generated a lot of talk and concern like you said and therefore, I would wish the President would talk to everybody as opposed to talking to individuals here and there.”
