I'm Fit, PDP Is Desperate – Buhari

Former head of state and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Major General Muhammadu Buhari, (rtd) yesterday, denied that he had prostate cancer and was thus embarking on a United States trip for that sake.

General Buhari expressed his anger on what he called the desperate attempt by members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to spread misinformation in the country, “despite the serious issues of corruption in the land.”

Buhari, who spoke at the Rivers State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja, was in the company of the APC governorship candidate in Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, former Ekiti State governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, and other party chiefs.

A livid Buhari said it was unfortunate that the ruling PDP has so far concentrated ‘too much energy’ on his state of health and academic certificate, leaving unattended to serious state issues.

He said: “This desperation of misinformation that is being passed around will do nobody any good because our minds are being taken away from the serious issues of corruption and incompetence by the PDP. How they got the impression that I was sick, I do not know, although I got cold and that did not stop me from going through my schedule. A national daily reported that I was to jet out for medical check up yesterday but here I am.
“I was at Nasarawa and Benue states yesterday. Tomorrow, I am going to be in two states. The day after tomorrow, in two more states. I am doing two states per day.
“I don’t know of this desperation. The issue we are telling Nigerians is that of corruption in this country for the last 16 years. PDP has literally destroyed this country. This is the issue and what has my health got to do with that one that I have been sick on daily basis? And documents have been put on paper, on tweeter that I am sick and the ABU said they are forged documents. This desperation is beyond my understanding.”
On his involvement in the alleged missing fund in the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), Buhari said: “That one has been cleared. There is no fraud in PTF.
