Last month, rumours began circulating on the internet that President Buhari had died. This was after Buhari had proceeded to the UK on vacation, and medical check up. The president’s media team debunked the rumours and even went ahead to warn those peddling the rumours that they will be punished. Yesterday, the presidency announced an extension of the president’s leave so he can attend to his health needs.
