e Senate committee chairman on police affairs, Senator Abu Ibrahim, has dismissed rumour that President Muhammadu Buhari is sick as untrue.

Senator Abu Ibrahim has said President Buhari is burdened by the problems the country is going through.

Senator Abu Ibrahim representing Katsina south under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said on Tuesday, February 7, that President Muhammadu Buhari was not sick, but only exhausted as a human being, Vanguard reports.

He said Buhari was exhausted form the weight of the country’s problems.

According to him, the issues that might have taken a toll on the president include destruction of oil pipe line that has reduced production to almost half, fall in oil price that has affected the economy and led to recession, and the falling exchange rate that has affected the purchasing power of most Nigerians.

Senator Ibrahim said President Buhari will soon come back, noting that that there was no need for Nigerians to be unduly apprehensive because the president is not sick but exhausted by the weight of the problems the country is going through.

He however urged Nigerians to continue to pray for the president to come home and continue his work to put the country in a better footing, adding that Nigerians have the right to list what they wanted the President to do when he is back home.

Meanwhile, following the recent letter written by President Muhammadu where he communicated his desire to extend his vacation abroad in order to complete his test cycles, Nigerians have continued to ask questions as to the veracity of the claim.

In a latest effort, Dr Peregrino Brimah, a social commentator questioned the integrity of the president’s spokesmen.

The commentator insisted that there are possibilities that the spokesmen are still feeding Nigerians with lies concerning the health status of President Buhari.
