Northern firebrand and Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has expressed the fear that the country may be faced with a President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua-like health situation with President Muhammadu Buhari.
The outspoken Mohammed said that the recent trip of Buhari to Germany was for medical reasons masked as State Visit by Aso Rock cabal.
Mohammed in an interview with Sunday Punch, alleged that the president’s handlers were making similar mistakes committed by those who served as close advisers to ex-President Yar’Adua.

Mohammed said, “The reason the president travelled to Germany was not what it was advertised to be. The trip is basically a medical trip. It was undertaken for medical reasons. It was only converted to a state visit as an afterthought and that tells you the level of contempt the handlers of the president have for Nigerians. We blamed the handlers of Yar’Adua for the way they kept his ailment secret.
“Now, Nigerians have a big surprise awaiting them. They have not been told the truth about the real state of the man’s (Buhari) health. He is our president. Nigerians elected him into office and we must never allow individuals to play with our intelligence and do something stupid and dangerous to our country. I hope and pray that next time, the Nigerian people would be told the truth. It’s a medical trip; they (handlers) issued statements to camouflage the real reason behind the trip.”
On the controversy surrounding Mrs. Aisha Buhari’s criticism of her husband’s style of governance, he stated she was speaking the truth as a few persons have encircled the president emasculating a large number of APC stalwarts from reaching him.
“The president’s wife as far as I am concerned, did not speak out for any personal gain. She has her husband’s best interest at heart. I have no doubt she is in touch with ordinary Nigerians and enjoys the confidence of many and she chose to speak for them. Although she exercised a lot of restraint by refusing to name names, we all know that Mamman Daura does not have a voter card,” he said.
