Ogun Presidential Campaign Body To Challenge Mental State And Physical Health Of Buhari

The Presidential Campaign Organisation, Ogun State, on Monday resolved to challenge the state of mind and physical health of General Muhammadu Buhari in a competent court of law and demand that a thorough medical examination be carried out on him to ascertain if he is capable of Ruling Nigeria.

The body also condemned in strong terms the continuous surreptitious positioning of the All Progressive Congress (APC) on the true state of health of its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.

General Muhammadu Buhari is the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress for the upcoming 2015 general elections.

In a statement signed on Monday by Steve Oliyide, the Director, Media and Publicity of the Ogun State Presidential Campaign Organisation (PCO), the body expressed disappointment on the lack of transparency on the APC towards making public the true health state of Buhari.

The statement: "the Presidential Campaign Organisation, Ogun State notes with dismay the secrecy with which the real health status of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential flag bearer, General Muhammadu Buhari is Shrouded. It is even more worrisome that in spite of the embarrassment the nation recently suffered with the Yar'Adua saga, the APC that is busy hallucinating about taking over power at the center has not found it expedient to come straight on this germane matter."

"First as Nigerians, we feel concerned about the well being of our fellow citizen and more about a man who had served this country in the Army but history as taught us that the Presidential position comes with lots of physical challenge and huge mental demands and as such a proposed occupant of such position must be at least 90% healthy and of a very sound mind."

"We wonder why the opposition party is spending so much time and resources to conceal the true state of health of the former dictator. More so, we find it rather ridiculous and a grand insult to Nigerians, that the opposition party has continued to play "hide and seek" whenever the issue of General Buhari's health comes up."

"We love General Buhari and we will not stands idle to watch some greedy, self-centred and selfish politicians push such man around all in the process of actualizing their egocentric lust for power. We will not also fold our hands and allow these few take the already progressing country into constitutional crisis and needless doctrine of necessity."

"We therefore condemn in strong terms the continuous surreptitious positioning of the All Progressive Congress (APC) on the true state of health of its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari."

"In light of these and in conformity with section 137 of the  Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), we hereby wish to make public of our resolve to challenge the state of mind and physical health of General Buhari in a competent court of law and demand that a thorough medical examination be carried out on him to ascertain if he is capable of holding the highest office in the land in line with the provisions of the constitution."
