“Poor Prof. Osinbajo even he had to deal with the rumours — Some people reached out to him to consider them to be his Vice President because they assumed I was dead. That embarrassed him a lot; we discussed it when he visited me while I was convalescing.”
“I can assure you all that this is the real me. Later this month I will celebrate my 76th birthday. And I’m still going strong!”
The polity has been fouled with rumour that President Buhari had died while he was on medical vacation in London earlir in the year and that he had been cloned while a certain “Jubril” from Sudan has been acting as Nigerian president.
The President had to finally dispelled the rumour for the first time in Poland where he is attending Climate Change conference.
