Buhari not under obligation to disclose nature of ailment – Lai Mohammed

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has stated that President Muhammadu ‎Buhari is under no obligation to disclose his medical condition to anyone. The minister said the silence was not unusual.
He spoke just hours after the President returned to Abuja from another round of check-ups in the British capital.
“It’s not strange at all for a sitting president to be ill and it’s not strange either for the state to take care of his medical bill,” Lai Mohammed told newsmen on Tuesday.
“I think there’s so much speculation as to what he’s been treated for.
“I think we would rather respect his privacy. If Mr President feels like telling the world his ailment, so be it. I don’t think he’s under an obligation to tell anyone.
“If he’s going to run that’s left to him but right now, his major preoccupation is delivering on all his electoral promises,” he said.
