The government of Nigerian has said that the country’s President Muhammadu Buhari is well. This pronouncement comes amid speculations about the health of Mr. Buahri who has traveled to London for medical checkup.

Reports across various social media platforms claimed that President Buhari is not well and very sick. But a statement from the Nigerian government said the president is in good health.

The Minister of Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohamed in the statement asked Nigerians “to disregard the subversive messages being circulated via text messaging and the Social Media”.

He said the “fabricated messages are being orchestrated by those who feel threatened by the emerging order.”

“There is no iota of truth in the messages being circulated on the health of the President, who is hale and hearty,” the statement added.

This is the second time Mr. Buhari, 74 is traveling to London for medical checks. The last time he made such a trip was in June last year for an ear infection treatment.

He is expected back to work on Feb. 6.
