Phone call alone can't guarantee your well-being, you have to address the nation Mr President

In a country where rumours are rife, the presidential statements would have
done little to dampen the speculation about the leader’s health. Nigerians are
acutely sensitive to leaders travelling abroad for medical reasons after President
Umaru Yar’Adua died while in office in 2010. For months, the public was kept in
the dark while he received treatment in Saudi Arabia. The period of uncertainty
created deep political instability in the country.
Last June, President Buhari spent nearly two weeks in London receiving treatment
for an ear infection. But the bigger issue this time is that
officials have repeatedly refused to disclose his illness and are not saying
when he will return to Nigeria.Last June, President Buhari spent nearly two weeks in London receiving treatment
In fact, President Buhari, has not given a single interview since arriving in the UK. Instead, we are relying on pictures – posted on Twitter – of our leader meeting senior UK officials as proof that he is still alive.
But in contrast, the Special Assistant to President Buhari, Media and
Publicity, Femi Adesina, few days ago forwarded President Buhari’s “thank you” message
to Nigerians wherein he said he was even getting better.
The
latest statement issued by the government said there was “no cause for worry”
about the president’s health but his medical leave was being extended.
Although, some Nigerians have now heard the PMB’s voice for the first time since he left for the UK after a telephone conversation with the governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state, was played out loud at a prayer meeting on Wednesday. But not all Nigerians is present at that prayer meeting, so I believe President Buhari should address the nation himself will be a very great relief.
