Since President Muhammadu
Buhari left the shores of Nigeria on a “10 day leave”
the internet has been awash with various rumour pointing to the fact the
the president is dead.
The latest and the most
disheartening of all this rumour is a recent publication by a blog
vanguardngr.local-reports.com that claimed that Queen Elizabeth sent a
condolence message over the president’s death.
Here is how the blog wrote the
information:
The Queen of Britain, Her Royal
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has sent message of condolence to the family of
Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari and the people of Nigeria.
There are no official reports on the
speculated death of the President and the message of condolence from the
British Monarchy has put Nigerians in state of despair.
Two sources close to the Presidency
have said the President has passed on and that the photos circulating online
are those from his previous visit.
Another London source says PM
Theresa May has visited the Nigeria Ambassador to the UK.
In a message of condolence, the
Queen described Buhari as “one of Africa’s pillars”.
“The death of President Buhari came
to us as a shock. He has been one of the active pillars in Africa. May the good
people of Nigeria and Africa know that our hearts are with them in these hard
times.” – the Queen said.
The Presidency days ago denied
reports that the President had died and subsequent release of Photos put to
rest the rumors but the latest message of condolence from the Queen has brought
further confusion whether the Queen has fallen for fake news or the Presidency
is lying to the people to Nigeria.
The above quoted content is fake and
false!
Now, the truth is that the
president is hail and hearty, he has completed his 10 days leave and the only
reason while he is not back in Nigeria according to the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina “The President had planned
to return to Abuja on sunday, but was advised to complete the test cycle before returning.”
Who is behind the fake news sites?
The anonymity offered by the internet means it will be difficult to know.
But as much as possible Naija News
will continue put records straight, we wish to let you know that the President
is hale and hearty after completing his medical test
