Article was written by Jide Ojo

This is an interesting time in Nigeria. The most trending news in the country since January 19, 2017 has been that of the purported medical vacation of President Muhammadu Buhari in the United Kingdom which his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said would also entail routine medical checkup for the President. The 10-day vacation was to be from Monday, January 23 to February 5.  It will be recalled that President Buhari, in June 2016, had similarly gone to the UK to see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist for a nagging ear infection. No sooner had the President left for the current holiday than the rumour mill agog with the news of his alleged death while some unconfirmed news sources said he was terminally ill and on admission in a London hospital. Expectedly, his media team rose in stout defence, debunking the news of his death or ill-health. Pictures of his meeting with Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, as well as another one in which he and his wife were relaxing were leaked to and published in the media.
