| A well-wisher of President Muhammadu Buhari delivering a bouquet of flowers alongside what looked like a ‘get well soon’ card at the Abuja House, London…yesterday. |
President Muhammadu Buhari may have got faceless and
mischievous people peddling lies online that he has passed on – like they did
on Monday. But he is alive and not in short supply of well-wishers who are
standing by him at this time of ill health.
Unlike those behind the fake news, one of his supporters
sent him a bouquet of flowers at the official residence of the Nigerian High
Commissioner to the Court of St James’s, Abuja House just before noon
yesterday.
“I have a delivery of flowers,” the courier lady told
security personnel who responded to the entry buzzer. Within a minute, she went
back to her van and handed over the flowers specifically addressed as
“President Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “
Earlier, about 10:50 a.m., two family members came out of
the house and were driven away by a waiting cab. But before they got inside,
The Guardian approached them.
One of the pair, a young man of about 25 years, received
from a postman at least two letters, including a Royal Mail special delivery
addressed to Buhari. Prodded on the current state of health of the president as
he approached the waiting vehicle, he, however, declined comments.
A minute earlier, a pretty young woman that strikes the
resemblance of the president and that of his wife, Aisha, said Buhari was
“fine.”Asked, “How is the president doing?” she responded with a smile, saying,
“he is fine.” And just before shutting the door of the car, she was again
questioned:” Are you his daughter?” She gave a “no” answer.
About 1:00 p.m., an official of the High Commission, who was
interrogated on the issue from outside the gate where this reporter was
standing, said “good “ and gave a thumbs up. But when further asked, “when last
did you see him?” He did not answer.Meanwhile, movement in and out of the house
was minimal till after 3:00 p.m.
according to Guardian.
