President Buhari Has Difficulty Drinking And Eating
By Ige Olugbenga
There are indications that President Muhammadu Buhari is being fed intravenously as he has had severe difficulty eating and drinking for several days.
According to SaharaReporters, though President Buhari’s health held up for a while after his return from an extended medical vacation in the United Kingdom, his condition has deteriorated in the last several weeks.
Three sources told SaharaReporters that the president’s eating and drinking problems have left him too frail to leave his official residence at Aso Rock Villa to attend any official function.
President Buhari has been unable to attend the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting three weeks in a row. Last week he also failed to attend the Friday Juma’at prayers.
SaharaReporters learned that Buhari’s British doctors had sent a medical team to the Villa to attend to him. However, it was revealed that the medical team advised that the president should immediately return to the United Kingdom to begin what they described as a slow, complex and long-term treatment that could prolong his life.
The president and his handlers have declined to reveal the nature of the ailment that has hobbled him for over several months, rendering him incapable of attending to matters of state with any regularity.
