Contrary to the widespread speculations by Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), who travelled to the United Kingdom for a supposed working visit, is in a London hospital, the APC candidate proved him wrong when he stormed Chatham House ‘Hospital’ London to a wide reception.

The appearance of Gen. Buhari on Thursday amidst top APC leaders had put a stop to Fayose’s wide allegations. 

Fayose had alleged that Buhari was being treated at a hospital located at Cavendish Street, Cavendish Square, W2 London West End, London.

The governor had said this had vindicated his earlier stand that Buhari was sick and lacked the required capacity to rule Nigeria.

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor had described the claim by the APC that Buhari would give a talk at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, London as a “deceit taken too far.”

He said, “The event is listed on Royal Institute of International Affairs website; www.chathamhouse.org/events.

“For the avoidance of doubt; the event’s keynote speakers are former Brazil Minister of Defence, Celsius Amorin; UK Parliamentary Under Secretary of State and Minister of Defence Equipment Support and Technology, Celsius Amorin; Chief of the Defence Staff, UK Ministry of Defence, General Sir Nicholas Houghton; Chief Executive of BAE System, Ian King and Secretary General, Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Dr. Abdulatif Bin Rashid Al Zayani.

“Apart from the above listed five persons, 25 others are listed as speakers.

“So, in which Royal Institute of International Affairs’ event is Buhari participating as a speaker?

“This is not to mock Buhari or wish him dead. Rather, it is to expose the falsehood of the APC and desperation of its leaders, especially Senator Bola Tinubu to foist another Yar’Adua saga on Nigeria.”
