Buhari chronically ill – Perry Brimah

Popular columnist and convener of Every Nigerian
Do Something, Perry Brimah, has said that President
Muhammadu Buhari is “ chronically ill ” and in need
of urgent rest.

Brimah, in a statement on Friday, alleged that the
President was being kept locked up in Aso Rock by
some “ selfish cabal ” instead of receiving best
therapy .

The columnist flayed Nigerians for their
uncompassionate reaction to Buhari ’ s health status
despite seeing his “ asthenic figure now no more
than skin-and - bones as he sat down for the Jummah
service ” with Kaduna state governor Nasir el -Rufai
last Friday.

He wrote , “ There can be no denying how chronically
ill president Muhammadu Buhari looks when he
seldom does appear in public . The last time was last
week Friday when Kaduna state governor Nasir el-
Rufai came visiting.

“ The videos of Buhari walking for Friday prayers
bring tears to eyes . His asthenic figure now no more
than skin-and - bones as he sat down for the Jummah
service was heart - wrenching.
“ How can a people be so cold they expose a
grandfather to this type of extreme stress and
deprive him from his needed rest and medical expert
attention by tasking him to lead the world ’ s most
complex nation?

“ Have we as a people lost our humanity that we
continue to task Buhari like this and not campaign
for him to be relieved of our burden and rest
towards recovery ?
“ It is insane to continue to deprive him and the
nation by locking him up and burdening him with a
challenge too heavy for even a strong young man to
bear talk -less an old man who just returned from a
49-day leave in which he received blood transfusions
and unknown cocktails of serious medications .

“ For those of us in the medical profession , we
recognise the president ’ s loss of hair on his head
and facial hair as well as his reported blood
transfusions as possible evidence of cancer
chemotherapy.

“ God forbid, however , if this is the condition the
president is being managed for that the cabal is
hiding from the people, the wickedness of the selfish
cabal that forces him to remain locked up , “ dying ”
in Aso Rock instead of receiving best therapy , should
be vehemently opposed by us masses.
“ Whoever is found guilty of hiding any serious
diagnosis the president may have and bundling him
back to deteriorate in Aso Rock under pressure of
Nigeria ’ s humongous burden should be dealt with
according to the full extent of the law . This is not
only criminal but sinful .

“ A great fear is, what if ( God forbid ) president
Buhari should collapse ? This time he may not yet
have handed over to Vice president Yemi Osinbajo as
“ acting president ” and Nigeria may be thrown into
the chaos that perhaps some desperate politicians
eyeing the presidency seat are secretly plotting for .

Nigeria cannot afford to be thrown into such state of
dilemma and disarray .

“ It ’ s time for Nigerians to demand full disclosure of
the true state of health of president Muhammadu
Buhari and immediate best options for him to be
allowed to rest and recover instead of being locked
up to literally die under the weight of Nigeria ” .
