Aso Rock Fooling Nigerians , Buhari In Germany For Medical Reasons – Junaid Mohammed

A Second Republic lawmaker, Junaid
Mohammed, has weighed into the
controversy generated by Aisha Buhari’s
‘insurgent ’ BBC interview supporting her
actions and revealed that President
Muhammadu Buhari is currently in
Germany for medical reasons .
A medical doctor , Mohammed made this
disclosure while speaking with Punch on
Saturday , October 15 , 2016 .
On Friday , BBC aired the full interview the
Hausa Service of the news outlet
conducted with Aisha Buhari, Nigeria ’s
first lady . In the interview, she accused a
cabal of taking over her husband’s
presidency and that Buhari had lost
control of the government.
Expressing her frustration, Mrs . Buhari
threatened not to support any attempt by
her husband to re - contest in 2019 if things
do not change .
Mohammed alleged that the president ’s
handlers were making similar mistakes
committed by those who served as close
advisers to ex - President Umaru Yar ’Adua .
According to him , Buhari was in Germany
to receive treatment for an undisclosed
ailment but his handlers arranged a state
visit in an attempt to mask the truth .
“ The reason the president travelled to
Germany was not what it was advertised
to be . The trip is basically a medical trip .
It was undertaken for medical reasons. It
was only converted to a state visit as an
afterthought and that tells you the level of
contempt the handlers of the president
have for Nigerians . We blamed the
handlers of Yar ’Adua for the way they kept
his ailment secret .
“ Now , Nigerians have a big surprise
awaiting them . They have not been told
the truth about the real state of the man ’s
( Buhari) health . He is our president .
Nigerians elected him into office and we
must never allow individuals to play with
our intelligence and do something stupid
and dangerous to our country . I hope and
pray that next time, the Nigerian people
would be told the truth . It ’s a medical trip ;
they ( handlers) issued statements to
camouflage the real reason behind the
trip . ”

The former lawmaker stated that those
behind the cover - up did not love the
president more than Nigerians who voted
him into office .
Mohammed also accused those criticising
Mrs . Buhari of hypocrisy .
He pointed out that although most of the
people would not like to admit it , a good
number of them including members of the
All Progressives Congress who have been
denied access to Buhari, had taken their
case to her as a last resort .
“ The president ’s wife as far as I am
concerned , did not speak out for any
personal gain. She has her husband’s best
interest at heart. I have no doubt she is in
touch with ordinary Nigerians and enjoys
the confidence of many and she chose to
speak for them . Although she exercised a
lot of restraint by refusing to name names,
we all know that Mamman Daura does not
have a voter card,” he said .
