Civil society organisations and some lawyers have issued an ultimatum ordering the Presidency to publicly tell the true state of health of President on or before May 29.

These groups have threatened to hold protests throughout the country over the uncertainty of the President’s health status if it continue beyond his administration’s second anniversary in office, May 29.
They expressed grievances with the way information around the President’s health status is being managed by his handlers.

Some of them also called on the President to resign from office if he is unfit to fully commit himself to the task of tackling the various problems of the country.

Speaking on the secrecy surrounding the health of President Buhari, the President, Campaign for Democracy, Mr. Bako Usman, threatened that the group would protest if the Presidency failed to declare Buhari’s health status within two weeks or at most by May 29.

He said it was high time “some cabal members” stopped holding Nigerians hostage by hiding the wellbeing of the President.

He said, “ the handlers can’t be holding over 170 million Nigerians hostage because they are enjoying some sort of benefits.

“We are going to be a part of the struggle. We are protesting against the hiding of the President’s health status. History will not judge us right if we keep silent over the issue.

“We voted him into power, but his performance has been below expectations. Hiding his health status has not been helpful. There is nowhere in the constitution where the President’s health status should be treated as classified information. The secrecy is uncalled for.”

Usman said the group is giving the Presidency a two-week ultimatum for it to declare Buhari’s health status.

He said, “We have been in this struggle for long and we are not going to retire. So, if Buhari fails to address the citizens or fail to appear at the next Federal Executive Council meeting and the one following it, we will start our protests.”

Likewise, the spokesperson for Free Nigeria Coalition, Ariyo-Dare Atoye, said his group was giving “May 29 ultimatum to the presidency for full disclosure of Buhari’s health status”.

He said, “It is the irreducible minimum we’re demanding from the Presidency and President Buhari himself. We can’t continue in this occult-like political wilderness that a few persons – influence peddlers and money monger cabals- are trying to foist on us.
He said in the days to come, the group would organise a rally and even reach out to Nigerians to protest against the handling of Buhari’s health status.

“If it requires us to occupy Abuja, we are ready to partner like-minded Nigerians to achieve this.

“It has reached that level now for us to hit the streets and demand to know the health status of Mr. President. It is a price we must pay and we must be ready to salvage our nation,” he said.

Laughing.

Honesty is still the best policy.
Nigerians can only pray for the president when they know what they should pray for or against.

No need to pray for him. You don't have to do that.

Concentrate on praying for yourself first. Abi na all your prayers God don answer finish?

Useless ultimatum.

Is it a crime to fall sick? Don't we have a VP for situations like this?

Comparing PMB's sickness to that of YarAdua is the height of insincerity. Yar'Adua's sickness was completely hidden, flown out without our knowledge or him even handing over to his then VP. PMB has clearly said he's been sick, officially took time off and handed power to his VP. He's now back recuperating and doing the work his health allows him while delegating more duties to his VP.

Some Nigerians like to embark on a hopelessly fruitless exercise sha. So after the protest what next?

Why do we have the NASS either? The legislators should have had a privilege information about the health status of Mr. President by now. And ascertain whether he is capable or not, rather than some ramble random group issuing threats that has an obvious dead end.

Don't even know what to comment

Lol. Didn't they see him when he came to pray? They should study the photos and determine the true state of his health.
