I Have Never Been This Sick Before — Buhari Raises Fear He Might Be Admitted Again Soon

President Muhammadu Buhari who has just returned from a prolonged vacation in the United Kingdom (UK), has said he had never been this sick in his entire life.

Speaking to government officials at the State House in Abuja, Buhari said: “I couldn’t recall being so sick since I was a young man, including in the military with its ups and downs” .

The president also said he could not recall the last time he had a blood transfusion.

Buhari, however, stressed that with or without him, Nigeria will continue.

Addressing the country from the State House, shortly after arriving from London, President Buhari said he was fully committed to serving the nation and protecting the right of all Nigerians.

‘‘I am deeply grateful to all Nigerians, Muslims and Christians alike who have prayed and have continued to pray for my good health.

‘‘This is a testimony that in spite of the hardship being experienced, Nigerians support the government in its effort to tackle our country’s challenges,’’ the president said.

“The best way for me to repay you is to rededicate myself to serving you, protecting your interest and keeping your trust. I thank you very much.

“I am feeling much better now. There may, however, be need for further follow up within some weeks,’’ he stated.
