President Muhammad Buhari, who left Nigeria 45 days ago to
resume treatment for an undisclosed medical condition believed to be cancer,
has developed speech difficulties, presidency sources said today.
Previously, Mr. Buhari was also said to be suffering memory
lapses. The latest revelation stems from recent attempts to return the
President to Nigeria by members of a cabal managing his health and using it to
deceive Nigerians.
During his last trip Saharareporters revealed that his
London doctors rejected the idea of his returning to work. They asked
that he remained in London for four months to see how best they could treat his
illness. Nonetheless, the cabal managing the president brought him back
to enable him to undertake a number of acts including military postings and
appointments that would have been impossible with an acting President on seat.
When the President was leaving for the airport on May 7, he
shocked his aides when he asked if they were going to Sokoto, perhaps one of
the first signs of his deteriorating memory.
It has now been learnt that President Buhari has not spoken
to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo by telephone since his departure. Only
last week, the Acting President was asked to await a phone call from Mr. Buhari
but when a call eventually came in, nothing coherent was heard from Mr. Buhari,
despite the cabal having kept telling people of his “tremendous” improvement.
