Those speculating about my health are ‘mischief makers’ — Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari said on Saturday that rumours about his death in London were being peddled by “mischief makers”.  

The president said this when he spoke to his media adviser, Femi Adesina, by phone on Saturday.

“I am still resting. Thank you for holding out against mischief makers,” Mr. Adesina quoted Mr. Buhari as saying.

The president departed Nigeria on January 19 for a 10-day vacation, during which he would undergo medical treatment.

His call on Saturday to Mr. Adesina, his most senior media adviser, came 36 days after he travelled.
