The health status of President Muhammadu Buhari is turning to be the worst kept secret in the country. Buhari, who is currently in the United Kingdom on medical vacation for the second time is battling an ailment unknown to citizens.
Repeated calls have been made by well-meaning Nigerians for those in the presidency, especially his media team to inform the people of his status, a request they have continuously refused.
Not one to back down, a former Minister of Education and co-convener of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, Obiageli Ezekwesili on Monday took to her Twitter page to once again speak on Buhari’s health status.

I want FG &Presidency @AsoRock to do the RIGHT THING (tweeted on same months ago). Provide UPDATE to the Nigerian Public President's health.

There are BASIC PRACTICES in any Democracy that Nigerian Govts MUST LEARN. Key one is Citizens' RIGHT TO KNOW on matters that affect them.

Surely the FG and the Ag.P @ProfOsinbajo must know that EVERY NIGERIAN is interested in the state of being of our President? Present UPDATE.

Was told that when I last tweeted @AsoRock on its POOR info management on President's health & asked Nigerians to pray, some were angry.

I replied: Like everything within the Freedom of Choice of humanity, it is NOT by force to Pray.Your REVELATION determines your Choice shaa.
