The rumours were vigorously shrugged by his team and supporters. To indicate that he was alive and well, Buhari said that he would be returning to Nigeria on Monday, 6 February.

His return was set to coincide with protests against his leadership which protestors said has failed to turn around the country’s economy.

In a dramatic twist of events, however, the protest which was set to be led by TuBaba who featured in Tay Grin’s Chipapapa was cancelled. He cited security issues as the reason.

Meanwhile Buhari who had to be arriving in Nigeria also pulled a last minute surprise when he indicated that he would not be returning as he had to extend his medical vacation indefinitely. He said it is on the doctor’s advice.

His decision not to return to Nigeria has prompted serious rumours on his health with many believing that he has died and the government is trying to cover up.

  3. buhari admits that he’s a man and he can be sick at one time or the other but our own president is always in robust health.

  4. Have you heard a journalist who wrote mbwelera RIP peter muntharika in malawi24 newspaper? He ordered him to be arrested,taken to court and asked to defend himself……then he said RIP stands for Remain In Power.case closed.

  5. Malawi24 u have nothing to tell Malawians, u just want to get attention from people so that they must talk about Peter. The issue of Muthalika was for past and already people had forgotten. If u want to talk about Buhari of Nigeria talk about him only not involving our president. U seems not to have respect on our president, after all there’s no one here on earth who doesn’t fall sick.
