- A renowned lawyer and senior advocate of Nigeria Femi Falana have condemned President Muhammadu Buhari for not disclosed the status of his health condition to Nigeria

- Falana said Nigerians have the right to know the health status of a sitting president

- The senior lawyer said this can be done even if the law does not mandate the president to make such disclosures


A renowned lawyer and senior advocate of Nigeria Femi Falana have condemned President Muhammadu Buhari for not disclosed the status of his health condition to Nigeria.

Falana said Nigerians have the right to know the health status of a sitting president.

Speaking on a Channel television’s programme, Falana said even if the law does not mandate the president to make such disclosures, Nigerians deserve to know his health status.

“Under the Freedom of Information Act, the right to health is supposed to be shrouded in secrecy but I am saying now that henceforth, this situation calls for a review of the law so that we won’t be left guessing next time,” Falana said.

“We are talking of the President. Many state governors go in and out of the country, some for a month or two, some for three months without anybody asking any question and without any handover to their deputies,” he said.

The senior lawyer said the system has been structured in a manner that a public office holder does not have to be secretive about issues concerning him.

Falana said: “But I am saying that with what we are going through now, we must come to appreciate that if you are going into public office, you have no secrecy.”

“It is our duty and right and the President took cognizance of that last year when he disclosed to Nigerians what he was going abroad for. This year should not be an exception.

“This is what has given room to a lot of rumours and speculation which are totally uncalled for,” he said.

President Muhammadu Buhari had written to the Senate to extend his initial 10-days’ vacation.

However, the president’s letter has raised controversies with Nigerians calling for a total disclosure of the Buhari present health status

Meanwhile, the vice president Yemi Osinbajo has assumed duty as the acting president of Nigeria.

Gani must be turning in his grave over what some of his fellow comrades have turned into in recent times

That's like a father who goes on indefinite health leave but doesn't want his wives & kids to perform his duty or know his status.

Will proper disclosure of his health status stop him from getting to 2023? Or is that you have nothing to say hence this default, morőnic response? See mouth abi na hand like 'children's', olodo ers club!

2023? Chai bros you get mindoo.So the vegetable resemble pesin wey go rule till 2019? Even if he manages to clings to life until 2019,you think the north would risk fielding him again?

I Wonder where the word public servant was coined from
A public servant should be a public servant
We have a right to know your whereabout if it becomes so long that u gave yourself an indefinite holiday
President Buhari
We have the right to know about your health
U have left Nigeria in autopilot with our Acting President acting out the script given to him
We have a right to know your whereabout
You are the President of more than 150million
U just leaving the country under untold hardship
Sufferings, starvation doesn't sound good
If u can't handle Nigeria

Then Pls Resign

Buhari keeps disappointing his fans. Well am not disappointed, I always know Buhari to be a straight man

Oga, what are you saying.

Nigerians situation is likened to the book of JOB 3:24 which says: For sighing come to us instead of food; our groans pour out like water.

Plsss

Alright

APC SW v APC N

NB: I'm not an "afonja"

However, the fact that you have unrestricted freedom to say whatever you want on social media should afford you the opportunity to develop yourself in many aspects to a great extent. You shouldn't address respectable people recklessly because you feel say "nothing go happen"

Now let me say this...

Yar'adua died and his vice GEJ took over and Northerners and Afonjas did not let him (GEJ) rest and do his job in peace...

If anything happens to Buhari and Osibanjo becomes President, Northerners and we the Igbos and South-Southerners will not let Osibanjo do his job in peace.

It's Karma!

He just expressed his opinion. Does it even matter.

Ok

He just expressed his opinion. Does it even matter. :
