       Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives
       Congress yesterday warned Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose,
       against playing politics with President Muhammadu Buhari’s
       health.
       Addressing state house reporters in Abuja, the Chairman of the
       Progressive Governors Forum, Rochas Okorocha of Imo State,
       described Fayose’s assertion that Buhari was on life support in
       London as a cheap and hate statement capable of heating up the
       polity.
       Okorocha asked Nigerians to disregard Fayose’s statement which
       he described as baseless, saying the Ekiti governor was fond of
       creating confusion.
       He noted that anybody could fall ill, maintaining that President
       Buhari’s health was in the hands of God.
       According to Okorocha, there was neither vacuum nor cause for
       alarm as Acting President Yemi Osinbajo had stabilised Nigeria,
       hence the need for Nigerians to support him, “as we’re hoping
       that very soon, Mr. President will come back and join us.”
       He said: “I want to advise that Fayose’s statement should not be
       regarded, it is baseless and there is no substance in that
       information. What he said is not right, it is uncalled for and
       that is simply heating up the polity. In our culture and
       traditions, we do not play politics with people’s lives and
       anybody can be sick, anybody can be in the hospital.”
       He said he did not understand if Fayose was speaking as a person
       or in his capacity as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic
       Party Governors Forum, “but whatever it is, people must
       disregard this statement.
       “If anybody is to speak about the president’s health, Fayose
       does not have the qualification to speak for the nation on
       whether Mr. President should resign or stay. In our culture and
       tradition, we sympathise with those who go through pains of
       ill-health; at that time, we don’t wish them death, we wish them
       well,” he added.
       On the allegations that Buhari was being treated with tax payers
       money and the call for the disclosure of his health status,
       Okorocha said: “If there is an announcer that President Buhari
       today lacks money to treat himself abroad, believe me, more than
       20 million Nigerians will contribute for his health. So, this is
       neither here nor there. You must understand what he represents
       and who he is,” he said.
