President Muhammadu Buhari has been diagnosed with cancer, according to sources at the London hospital where he reportedly underwent medical check-up.

The Nigerian leader arrived in London on Monday, June 6, 2016 on a 10-day vacation, his spokesman, Femi Adesina announcing a day in advance: “During the holiday, he will see an E.N.T. specialist for a persistent ear infection. The president was examined by his Personal Physician and an E.N.T Specialist in Abuja and was treated. Both Nigerian doctors recommended further evaluation purely as a precaution.”

A source told News Express this morning, “President Buhari went for check-up hours after he arrived in London. The hospital has discovered the cause of Mr President’s illness to be cancer of the ear and brain. Let us start praying.”

The source, who is well connected in government circles, gave the name of the hospital as Royal Hospital London. He said he was given the information by medical sources at the hospital who have been his longtime friends.

Just yesterday the news filtered in that Buhari has also been battling “a terrible cough” and may need to spend more than 10 days in London to enable him seek adequate medical treatment.

Mr. Adesina, however, continues to insist that the President “is fit as a fiddle.”


Apart From President Buhari, A Minister Is Also Receiving Treatment Abroad – SGF


The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir David Lawal, Wednesday, at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari is sick and on medical vacation to London.

However, President Buhari is not the only one who is ill. Lawal revealed that three other ministers are also ill.

According to the SGF, the Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan popularly known as “Mama Taraba”, had been down but now “recuperating from surgery in the US”.

He added that the other two ministers that are ill are the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu and Minister of State for Environment, Ibrahim Jibril. He did not say whether they were also flown abroad for treatment.

President Buhari is away in London on vacation during which he will see doctors in the British city for a recurring ear problem. He has been criticized for seeking treatment abroad just months after speaking against such.
