We need to assess the physical and mental capability of Buhari – Oby Ezekwesili
Former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili has urged Nigerians to demand a probe into President Muhammadu Buhari’s mental and physical capability to carry on the duties of office.
She said that with the fragility of the present day Nigeria-State; the president has to forego privacy and succumb to the citizens’ right to know.
Oby made these calls via her social media page on Sunday.
She said, “I think that at this stage and depth of fragility of the Nigeria-State, Privacy has to yield ground to our Right-to-know as citizens, the state of health of @MBuhari.
“We really must assess the physical or mental capability of @NGRPresident to carry on the duties of office.”
“Citizens can collectively push for an Independent Panel to help us make the critical medical determination of the state of mind and body of our President, @MBuhari.
“The conditions of Nigeria have become too grave for us all to sit still and watch a train wreck in the making.”
The Presidential aspirant warns that to ensure an accurate report on the health status of the President, the investigative panel should be independent.
“As an extremely concerned citizen, I hereby demand for a #MedicalPanelOnBuhari since we obviously cannot trust the State House Physician to provide us accurate information.
“It is reasonable demand now for citizens to have full disclosure on the state of health of @MBuhari”
Controversy has trailed the health of President Muhammadu Buhari ever since he left for London in January 2017 for seven weeks of medical leave.
He has gone on more medical trips after that to treat an undisclosed illness.
