“Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has observed with concern that some individuals are carelessly making unnecessary remarks pertaining to the health of President Muhammadu Buhari. What Nigerians need to do now is to pray for his good health and not to speculate or draw conclusions which will do no one any good.”
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has faulted the former interim National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande and other prominent Nigerians for their comments regarding President Muhammadu Buhari’s health.
The Arewa group said expressed concern that, whereas some Nigerian people should devote their times to supporting President Muhammadu Buhari with prayers and positive attitudes to enable him complete the task of fixing Nigeria’s age-long problems that was the core mandate given to him by Nigerians, “some individuals were carelessly making unnecessary remarks pertaining to the health of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Akande had on Monday raised the alarm over the President’s health, saying he wept when he saw the President during his medical vacation in London and urged Nigerians to pray fervently for his quick recovery.
Also on Monday, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, and some Nigerian activists called on Buhari to proceed on medical leave immediately to enable him to fully recover.
But the ACF said in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Muhammadu Ibrahim, that the comments and call were unnecessary and uncalled for.
The statement read, “Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has observed with concern that some individuals are carelessly making unnecessary remarks pertaining to the health of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“What Nigerians need to do now is to pray for his good health and not to speculate or draw conclusions which will do no one any good.
“ACF advises Nigerians to please pray for the improvement of Mr. President’s health so that he can serve the nation with more vigor.”
On the frosty relationship between the National Assembly and the Presidency, the ACF advised the National Assembly to think of Nigeria above all other considerations.
