Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has stated that with President Muhammadu Buhari ailing health, the nation and indeed all Nigerians are sick.

Ortom said he and six of his colleagues that visited the ailing President in London last week advised the Nigerian leader not to be in a hurry to return to the country.


He said the governors told Buhari, who left the country on May 7, 2017, to stay back in the British capital until he was completely healed.

Ortom stated this on Thursday in an interview with State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The governor was part of the delegation of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum that visited the President last week.

He urged Nigerians to continue to pray for the Nigerian leader, saying, “Once the President is sick, the whole country is sick.”


He said, “I was the first person that initiated prayers and I shouted halleluyah when I saw him because God has answered my prayers. I urge both Christians and Muslims to pray for Mr. President because that is our duty.

“There is no power without God’s ordination. So those of us who are subjects should continue to pray. We should not be castigating Mr. President or wishing him evil.

“We should be praying for him. [url]If Mr. President is sick, it means all of us are sick[/url]; the whole country is sick. It is our responsibility to pray that Mr. President get well so that our country too will be wel


“Mr. President is doing well. When we saw him, he was not in a wheelchair, he was not bedridden. He greeted us, we cracked jokes and he was mentally alert. We discussed about the security situation in the country and he asked us questions about what we are doing.



“Our prayer is that God will consummate his healing. We asked him not to hurry because there is no vacuum. [url]The Acting President[/url] is holding forth for him and he is doing very well. By the grace of God, I believe that very soon, he will be with us.

Come back soon Sir

You advised him not to be in a hurry to return but couldn't advise him to resign and tend to his ailing health, and stop holding the destiny of over 170 million people to ransom, we have seen how much you people love Nigeria.

Our politicians are sick, not the citizens.
