The Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), has rubbished the purported report said to have emanated from their doctors that General Muhammadu Buhari is stricken with cancer.
“It (report of cancer) is untrue and condescending of its exponents. I have it on good authority that Buhari has not visited the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital in the last five years. So, how can anyone say that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last October, barely three months ago?
“This is the highest point of political distraction, malice and mischief. The report was not only fake but unfounded. I have spoken to impeccable sources at ABUTH all of whom deny the report and also claimed that the letterhead used was not their regular one, and that Dr. Bala Mohammed that purportedly approved the false Medical Report is not on the personnel list of that department.”
Garba Shehu, Director, Media and Publicity of the Campaign said.
Shehu also dismissed as figment of the imagination of “wicked and evil persons,” rumour that Buhari may be travelling to the United States towards the end of this month for medical check up.
He restated its earlier statement on Friday that Buhari is as fit as a fiddle.
