The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachir Lawal, on Wednesday confirmed that President Muhammadu Buhari and three of his ministers are currently indisposed.

Lawal disclosed this while saying the opening prayer at the beginning of a meeting of the Federal Executive Council presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Buhari is currently in London on a 10-day vacation during which he is scheduled to see Ear, Nose and Throat doctors in relation to what the Presidency described as his persistent ear infection.

On his arrival at the venue of the meeting, Osinbajo had asked the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, to offer Islamic prayer while he asked Lawal to say the Christian prayer.

Mohammed simply asked God to grant the cabinet members wisdom as they make national decisions at the meeting.

When it was the SGF’s turn to offer prayer, he asked God to be with the President who he said was on “medical vacation.”

He then proceeded to name ministers who he said were indisposed and asked God to heal them.

Lawal started with the Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs. Aisha Alhassan, who he said “is recuperating in US after a surgery.”

He also prayed for the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, who he said “is down with back pain.”

Shortly after he concluded his prayer, the SGF was reminded that he did not mention the Minister of State for Environment, Ibrahim Jibril.

Lawal quickly added Jibril’s name to his list of sick cabinet members.

He however did not disclose the nature of Jibril’s sickness.

Buhari had left Abuja for London on Monday after the Presidency confirmed that he had been battling with persistent ear infection.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, had issued a statement saying, “President Buhari will take 10 days off and travel to London from Monday June 6th, to rest.

“During the holiday, the President will see an Ear, Nose and Throat 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.”

Buhari had since written to the National Assembly intimating the lawmakers of his medical vacation.

He then informed them that Osinbajo would be performing the duties of the President according to the constitution while he is away.

In this era of open media where d world has just become a global village, u can only run but not hide. The inconsistencies in information dissemination coming from different agents of d state is at all time high. While praying to God during FEC they never argued he was sick but to us who are supposed to join them in prayers they told us he is not ill. Do they think God is a confused being. D synergy in our collective prayers would ve quickened PMB's recovery but d denials will certainly portend antagonistic effects. The SGF which by office is d Secretariat of d govt has told us DAT Presido is not only sick but equally indisposed along three others. To Femi Adesina, indisposed means unfit for or unable to do something in this instance governance. While it is a normal thing for all mere mortals to fall ill but d denials by this cabal is a source of concern. How can a man that online platforms have been alleging of being diagnosed of cancer be fit as fiddle at same time. We join d PDP in offering our prayers and supplications onto d Most High.

Lol

That's the problem with Pentecostal Christian prayers,

Just to summarise for God, na wahala....who asked you to break down the details of sickness, location and names as if God doesn't know.

It is called prayer, not press briefing.

Not surprise at all, a sickly cabinet is expected in a government full of aged grannies. How will this country ever move forward when leaders of this much are battling one sickness to another? No wonder everything is stagnant!

That's why sun news can lie...

AdeSHITna y?

Guy, you don off me

Wow,
When there is confusion at the head, there is paralysis at the tail.

Defending buhari is apparently the toughest job in Nigeria.

I think adesina means He is not critical ill, he only need rest and check up.

The prayers of sinners (PDP looters) is an abomination unto the Most High God thus says the Lord God of Host.


Proverbs 15:8

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.

why are all these suspicious happenings coming to play in this administration?

Even the country is sick. Add that to the prayer list.

I used to wonder how a sane human being would most likely wear agbada under this present weather condition in Nigeria

SGF forgot to mention Fashola and Kemi Adeosun. They are the most sick in this Government. It is these sickness that rendered both of them useless.

Sorry. Technicality useless

Ahasco:

What is suspicious about being sick?

Leading a complex country like Nigeria is not an easy task You have to be up and down both in physical, mind, spiritual e. t. c
I pray for their quick recoveries and May the almighty bless them with infinite wisdom to lead Nigeria to a greater height.
Ameen

Hahaha... ASO SICKNESS! Abeg check my signature

But Femi Adesina said Bubu isn't sick? and all this Ministers are so useless

He treats ear infections. Patronize Nigeria to grow the naira. If Doctor no work, try native doctor

I wonder if the surgery in US can not be done in Nigeria. No government official for foriegn medical trip is only for the news so that zombies and wailers will quarrel over it all week long.

Deceit everywhere.

Sick president = Weak naira

They didnt wait till the end of the tenure??

He forgot to mention Lai Mohanmed and Femi Adesina..... those guys are really sick......

Every sick person in this government, named and unnamed, recieve healing right now

It is not a surprise. Apparently, a cabinet full of aged people equals a sickly government with resultant effect in the economic life of the people.
