A group known as the Coalition of Urhobo Nation
Youth Leaders and Stakeholders (CUNYLS) has demanded that the presidency
release a video recording of President Muhammadu Buhari who is
currently in the United Kingdom on medical vacation.
The group made the duggestion on Friday, February
17 in a statement signed by Its convener, Comrade Rex Emojite Ekiugbo
Anighoro and its acting Coordinator, Comrade Blessed Ughere.
According to Daily Post, the group also demanded a public presentation of the president’s health status.
The group further suggested that former President
Olusegun Obasanjo and former Vice President Alex Ekwueme should lead a
delegation of statesmen to visit the president.
Part of the statement read: “We demand that a
delegation of statesmen led by a former president pays a courtesy visit
to Mr President in London, or wherever he is, and this visit be visually
recorded and relayed to all Nigerians.
“We demand that the president’s state of health be immediately publicly declared for the benefits of all Nigerians.
“We recommend former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former Vice President Alex Ekwueme to lead such delegation.
“We must state here that efforts by the presidency to stifle these rumours have rather given more impetus to the rumours.
“Perhaps it has not come to the realisations of
the relevant authorities, but we must state here, that this current
state of cul de sac and grave yard silence is an open invitation to
power tussle, political imbroglio capable of destabilising the current
government from actualisation of their campaign promises to our people.
“The desperation of members of the Presidency
begs the question, if the President of Nigeria is healthy enough to
receive guests stemmed from his political party’s leadership, why
couldn’t he grant a live audience to multitude of Nigerians who thronged
to demand that he addresses them.”
President Buhari has been in London since January
19. The presidency had first announced that he was there for a 10-day
leave. But he has since extended the leave on medical grounds.
Meanwhile, Governor Mohammed Abubakar of Bauchi
state has directed religious leaders in the state to commence prayers
for President Muhammadu Buhari’s quick recovery.
The governor said they should direct Juma’at Mosques and Churches in their domains to commence the prayers as soon as possible.
