Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose has claimed President Muhammadu Buhari has been on life support in a West-End London Hospital.

He said this on Wednesday while addressing journalists in Ado-Ekiti.

Fayose stated that the audio message of President Buhari celebrating Eid-el-Fitri in Hausa language was “absolute lies.”

“No doubt, the audio message was only a damage-control strategy aimed at further deceiving Nigerians,” he said.

The governor gave a 48-hour ultimatum to the presidency to discountenance his claims, while stating that he will reveal more information to Nigerians.

“Today, it makes 53 days since our president left Nigeria to attend to his health challenges abroad. No official information as to his whereabouts and his state of health.

“Like every other Nigerians, I do not wish the president dead, I have therefore maintained dignified silence since we were told that the president embarked on his second medical trip abroad this year.

“However, the recorded audio message which was released by the Presidency as the president’s Ramadan message to Nigerians necessitated my setting the records straight today.

“The audio message does not represent the truth as our President does not only have voice impairment, he has been on life-support since June 6, 2017, at a West-End, London Hospital.”

He added that wife of the President, Aisha Buhari was not allowed to see the president when she visited London.

He said, “Only three Nigerians who are of the president’s cabal are allowed access to the president. I will keep their identities for now.

“Anyone with contrary claim should produce the president to Nigerians within the next 48 hours. I want to say emphatically that Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has not spoken to the president in the last one month. I expect him to prove me wrong.”
