President Muhammadu Buhari has been diagnosed
with cancer, according to sources at the London hospital where he
reportedly underwent medical check-up.
The Nigerian leader arrived in London on Monday (June 6) on a 10-day
vacation, his Spokesman Femi Adesina announcing a day in advance:
“During the holiday, he will see an E.N.T. specialist for a persistent
ear infection. The President was examined by his Personal Physician and
an E.N.T Specialist in Abuja and was treated. Both Nigerian doctors
recommended further evaluation purely as a precaution.”
A source told News Express this morning: “President Buhari
went for check-up hours after he arrived in London. The hospital has
discovered the cause of Mr President’s illness to be cancer of the ear
and brain. Let us start praying.”
The source, who is well connected in government circles, gave the
name of the hospital as Royal Hospital London. He said he was given the
information by medical sources at the hospital who have been his
longtime friends.
Just yesterday the news filtered in that Buhari has also been
battling “a terrible cough” and may need to spend more than 10 days in
London to enable him seek adequate medical treatment.
Mr. Adesina, however, continues to insist that the President “is fit as a fiddle.”
