COVID-19: No side effects on President Buhari after vaccination
By BASHIR ADEFAKA
“In response to press enquiries, I like to assure all citizens, and to dispel fears and misconceptions about the safety of the vaccine administered on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN earlier this morning”, Nigeria’s Presidential Spokesman Garba Shehu said in a statement sent to The DEFENDER on Saturday 6 March 2021.
According to him, “After he got his jab, the President felt normal and went about doing his job. If there are side effects that follow, we will be open about that but so far there is nothing of a side effect, serious or mild on the President. He is carrying on as normal.”
The DEFENDER reports that President Buhari is one and only leader of the country since return of democracy in 1998, who has been open to the extent of disclosing his personal health status even when he is not under any obligation to do so.
“We hope this will help to send a strong message among the people, especially those grappling with hesitancy about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine,” Garba Shehu, who is Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, said.
