Abdulsalami Abubakar and former President Muhammadu Buhari

Two former Nigerian leaders, General Abdulsalami Abubakar and former President Muhammadu Buhari, are reportedly undergoing treatment for undisclosed illnesses in London.

According to a source from the Presidency, both statesmen are “dying and dealing with undisclosed illnesses

The source revealed that Abdulsalami has been hospitalized in the UK for over five months, while Buhari has been in and out of intensive care units in recent weeks.

The insider claimed that Buhari is battling an intestinal disorder, while Abdulsalami is suffering from age-related complications.

President Bola Tinubu reportedly dispatched Vice President Kashim Shettima to visit both ailing former leaders in London and deliver messages of support.

Shettima visited Buhari in the hospital, spent hours with him, and even connected him with President Tinubu over the phone.

He also stopped by to visit General Abdulsalami, who is recuperating in London.

Buhari’s former media aide, Bashir Ahmad, confirmed that the ex-president is receiving medical attention but dismissed claims of him being in critical condition, stating that Buhari is “stable and responding well to treatment.”

Buhari’s health has long been a subject of public interest, especially during his presidency, when he made frequent medical trips abroad.

One of the longest was a 104-day stay in London in 2017, during which Vice President Yemi Osinbajo acted as president.

The visits by Vice President Shettima and the confirmation from Buhari’s former aide have provided some insight into the health conditions of the two former leaders, but concerns about their well-being continue to grow.
