The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is not on life support machine; rather, he is recovering speedily.
The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, dismissed the rumor that the president is on life support on Friday, in Abuja while speaking with journalists at the end of a meeting between the party`s National Working Committee (NWC) and state governors elected on the party’s platform.
“We are glad to inform you that President Muhammadu Buhari is recovering in a very robust manner,” Odigie-Oyegun said.
“We hope he takes it easy and when he comes back, I have no doubt at all that we will have a new and active period of activities.’’
However, the chairman noted that only the president’s doctors in London could decide when he would be fit to return to the country.
Recently, the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose alleged that President Buhari was on life-support in a London Hospital where he is receiving medical attention.
But Odigie-Oyegun ignored the comment, saying he would do that at an appropriate time.
“If I respond, I will be dignifying him. At the appropriate time, people will answer him; at the appropriate level; at the appropriate time. He is in a different world altogether,’’ Odigie-Oyegun said.
The chairman said, the party’s leadership has confidence in President Buhari.
He added that the meeting x-rayed the nation, ongoing agitation for its restructuring and inciting statements emanating from different parts of the country.
Oyegun stressed that such inciting statements are not good “for the nation`s health and have to be stopped.”
According to him, the party maintains its earlier position on the restructuring of the country as clearly stated in its manifesto.
He further said the party’s leadership would do all it could at all times to ensure that the unity of the country was preserved.
