“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.
