Buhari Not An Invalid – Fayemi Gives Reasons

By Emmanuel Adigwe

President Muhammadu Buhari is not invalid and is in his good senses, Dr. Kayode Fayemi said on Sunday as he dismissed recent calls from the opposition on the mental and physical capacities of the president.

He spoke in response to recent concerns expressed by the PDP caucus in the House of Representatives and by Dr. Oby Ezekwesili who recently called for an independent medical examination of the president.tic

Their calls followed the president’s failure to personally visit victims of the recent Boko Haram carnage in Borno State that saw at least 43 rice farmers slaughtered by the insurgent group.

But responding to the calls, Fayemi said on Sunday night:

“I meet President Muhammadu Buhari from time to time on behalf of my colleagues and there is nothing to suggest that the President is (an) invalid or incapable of delivering on the responsibilities of his office.”

Fayemi who spoke on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics added:

“Our country has challenges and let’s deal with the challenges. We may have subjective or objective criticisms of the president, that is within the realms of politics and public service and I am sure the president doesn’t mind that. However, when we want to do it, let’s be constructive. It’s the Office of the President that you are denigrating when you do that; it is not his person.”

“If the PDP caucus in the House of Reps feels they are empowered to start an impeachment process, that is their prerogative but the matter of security is beyond partisan politics.”
