Bashir Ahmad, the Digital Media aide to former President Muhammadu Buhari, has addressed recent media reports claiming that the former Nigerian leader is in critical condition and has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
In a statement released on Thursday, Ahmad sought to clarify the situation amid rising concerns about Buhari’s health.
Ahmad acknowledged that while Buhari is indeed unwell and receiving medical care, the reports suggesting a critical status are overstated. “It is true that former President Buhari is unwell and is currently receiving medical attention.
However, contrary to the exaggerated claims circulating in the media, he is stable and responding well to treatment, and we are optimistic about his full recovery,” he explained.
He also expressed gratitude to Nigerians and the global community for their support and prayers during this time. “We appreciate the outpouring of prayers and goodwill from his supporters and well-wishers around the world. We continue to pray for his complete and speedy recovery. Thank you!” the statement concluded.
