Femi Adesina says those describing President Buhari as being ill are wrong

Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, says its actually a misnomer (not using the right terms) to describe President Buhari as being ill, despite having an ear infection that required him traveling to the UK to visit an ENT doctor today. Adesina stated this while speaking with newsmen at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja as the President was leaving for London today June 6th.
“The buzz going round town is that the President is “ill”, but “ill” will be a misnomer. It should not be the right word to use. The President is going for a 10 day rest and during that period he will see specialists who will look at his ear because he has been treating that ear locally for some time. Nigerian physicians have looked at it and now they have said you are going to UK, now that you will be there let specialists look at the ear. They have treated it locally so it is not a question of whether the President is ill. If he is ill, it presupposes that there are certain things that he cannot do. Till the very last minute that he is traveling, the President performed the duties and functions of his office as the President. So illness is not the issue, but as a human being yes he can rest. He has been President for one full year, you know that in February he took 5days leave, he is taking another 10 days now that means 15 days leave in one year. You and I take more than that, so it is natural that the President as a human being is taking 10 days rest but he is not ill”he said
