A civil rights movement, Concerned Nigerians, has given the Presidency two weeks ultimatum within which President Muhammadu Buhari should conduct a media chat to address the nation on the state of his health and other national issues.

Should the President fail to speak out, the organisation threatened to shut down the country and commence a series of nationwide peaceful processions and call for his resignation from office.



The position of CN, was contained in a six-paragraph statement released on Saturday and entitled: “We will shut down Nigeria if Buhari does not conduct a media chat in two weeks”, signed by its Convener, Deji Adeyanju and Secretary, Dr. John Danfulani.

The CN said that for several weeks, the health of the President had been the source of speculation, as he had neither appeared in public nor attend several official functions, including Federal Executive Cabinet meetings.

The statement reads: “The handling of the situation relating to President Buhari’s health has led to a lot of political uncertainty in the country. This economic uncertainty has, in turn, led to a lot of economic uncertainty as major economic stakeholders and players are unable to make short, middle and long-term economic decisions.

“Furthermore, the uncertainty about President Buhari’s health is stoking ethnic and religious tensions. Only recently a user of the social networking site – Facebook – threatened to kill 200 innocent Nigerians if President Buhari dies. This threat may not be unconnected with rumours making rounds in the northern parts of the country that President Buhari was poisoned.

“To this end, we call on President Buhari to, as a matter of urgency, publicly address the nation on the state of his health and other national issues. Such an address will go a long way in assuaging the socio-economic and political tensions.

“If President Buhari fails or refuses to address the nation within 14 days of this statement, we will commence a series of nationwide peaceful processions calling on President Buhari to resign from office. The processions will also call on the Federal Executive Council and the National Assembly to set up a committee to assess his health in line with Section 144 of the Constitution if he fails or refuses to do so.

“While we recognise that illnesses can afflict anyone, particularly someone of President Buhari’s age, an occupant of the Office of the President has to be more forthcoming with information regarding his health. It is an obligation that the President bears to conduct himself in a manner that does not affect the peace, order and good governance of the country.”

While wishing President Buhari a speedy recovery from the illnesses that plague him, CN, however, believed that “he can no longer recover in a manner that plagues the entire country.”

Greed has now set in on buhari's taste for power. He's physically and mentally incapable, yet would never step down. I use to feel this country has been on auto-pilot, but no! It is been flown by a tailor.

Buhari is not God....
Anybody is bound to sick at anytime...
Especially when you're eager to work...
Not like looters that are ready to do nothing...

I think his health is personal to him, he shouldn't disclose it to anyone. As a medical doctor, if patient came for treatment you mustn't Reveal his health status.

I see

Above all, I don't support him disclosing his health status. I believe Buhari health is improving.

He is just bin programmed cos he knows wat to do but do not want to do it.

You cannot reveal it even to your colleague Doctor except when it become necessary for the purpose of treatment.

If he's being treated with his private funds and doing his thing on his private time that will be perfectly alright. However, he is a public citizen and has recourse to public funds (yet undisclosed) for whatever ails him. It is simple accountability and respect for rule of law that he comply with requirements of public scrutiny or step down into a private life.

We are asking buhari to address the nation and tell us what is wrong with him since he is being treated with public funds and u guys are talking sshiit about hippocratic oat.

FriendNG:


Yeah Hippocratic oath.

Yes, boss. U understand me very well.
