Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari is battling what appears to be Alzheimer’s disease, SIGNAL can report.

The development, which has greatly impaired the President’s ability to remember serious matters of governance, has strengthened the takeover of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa by a cabal under the reins of Mamman Daura.

According to a top-level source who disclosed the details to SIGNAL, a recent meeting with President Buhari at the Aso Rock Villa showed how much the illness may have worsened in the last few months with the President needing a reminder over and over again to keep up with the details of an ongoing conversation.

The development is said to have created a situation where the President is technically no longer in control of serious governance decisions. According to the source who did not want to be named, Mamman Daura, a close confidant of the President has now assumed overwhelming control of the Buhari administration taking advantage of the President’s ailment.

“It is a really serious situation. It is looking like the President has now been caged and hijacked. He is not in control. Daura is the one handling most of the key issues. He is the one who manages the entire decision making process from who is listed and presented to the President for appointments, interpretation of key policy decisions and their implications to the President, and even who is targeted or penciled down for arrests or prosecution. It’s unbelievably shocking”, the source said.

The unfolding development corroborates an earlier report by SIGNAL in June 2016 which revealed details about how wife of the President Mrs. Aisha Buhari was being sidelined by the Daura cabal which had hijacked President Buhari's government.

Buhari’s Alzheimer’s symptoms and a history of memory gaffes

According to medical experts, in the early stages of Alzheimer's, a person may function independently. He or she may still drive, work and be part of social activities. Despite this, the person may feel as if he or she is having memory lapses, such as forgetting familiar words or the location of everyday objects.

Friends, family or neighbors begin to notice difficulties. During a detailed medical interview, doctors may be able to detect problems in memory or concentration. Common difficulties include:

Problems coming up with the right word or name
Trouble remembering names when introduced to new people
Having greater difficulty performing tasks in social or work settings
Forgetting material that one has just read
Losing or misplacing a valuable object
Increasing trouble with planning or organizing

In the run up to the 2015 presidential election, Nigerians witnessed a bizarre occurrence in how President Buhari then the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) became entangled in a series of memory, pronunciation and clear message errors. In one striking instance, President Buhari forgot the name of his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo addressing him instead as Prof. Yemi Osinbade.

In another shocking development, President Buhari on a live television interview with Al Jazeera forgot the full meaning of Nigeria’s electoral body the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), switching ‘Nigeria’ with ‘National’.

Similarly, in a meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House, President Buhari forgot the full meaning of APC, the acronym of his All Progressives Congress (APC) ruling party. This time, Buhari omitted the word ‘progressives’, adding ‘Nigeria’ and ‘people’ into the mix and describing his party as the All Nigeria Peoples Congress.

But President Buhari was not done yet as the litany of his memory loss gaffes saw a fresh replay in Europe, this time referring to the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, as “President Michelle” of “West Germany” during the G7 Summit in Germany.

A medical practitioner who spoke to SIGNAL on condition of anonymity disclosed that these errors provoke more than casual interest in claims that the President may actually be battling Alzheimer’s disease. "We must continue to pray for the well-being of Mr. President but I think it is in the public interest that citizens begin to call for a proper medical assessment of the fitness of the President for his own good and for the good of the country. Some of the signs are troubling and Nigerians should be concerned", the medical practitioner said.

Aisha Buhari maybe a better president:outspoken,determined & with clear ideas and goals of her own on how to tackle issues.

When Fayose was shouting about the type of President Tinubu and his gangs threw at gullible Nigerians many never took him serious. Buhari is heading for the rocks because he appears to be clueless about current event.

men we are indeed in a big trouble as a nation

Useless signal from a parrot

Buhari must complete his tenure..

Say wat say anything can happen

Op Sheybi DSS Night raid never finish dem fit knack your Apako tonight

There's no smoke without fire

When will they give up on this line of propaganda on supposed Buhari's ill health?
They first created a fake laboratory report on his alleged prostate cancer, then later about his supposed leukaemia and now its Alzheimer - when will they ever stop.
I wish God Almighty returns the same those wishing upon Buhari these ailments - click like to answer Amen.

I hope he still remembers that he's fighting corruption.

Beast of no nation by late Fela Anikulapo Kuti described Buhari as a craze man. Maybe that was then...

Let's wish d president well. Stop the hate!

He never had control of that fetish aso rock..... His DAURA GANGS hold sway from initio.......

Pls let Nigerians keeP on praying.....iS getting close

According to an earlier post here on nairaland, https://www.nairaland.com/3404266/pressure-mounts-bbc-not-air
Aisha is complaining about the same Daura gang. The point is that whether Buhari currently has alzheimers or not he is clearly not the one leading ruling the country.


Is Nigeria on Autopilot?
Who is the one ruling Nigeria?

Not again !!!

That's why the happy-go-lucky ministers in this government have so much audacity to rub their incompetence and fvck ups in our face.
That's why Buhari declared that Abacha did not steal any kobo yet he begs foreign countries to repatriate the funds.
That's why the zombies on NL always reason like dunces cos their principal is a retarded cretin

Hmmm

Torr, he should be imprached soon enough or make him just ...........i. P

Ain't ur fan.. .but get well soon Mr President.
