Nigerians
living in the United Kindom (UK) under the banner of the UK chapter of
Nigerians in Diaspora Monitoring Group (NDMG) have condemned the death rumour
of President Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as the handiwork of corrupt and
unpatriotic individuals.
The group in
an electronic message to journalists by its co-ordinator, Engr. Adekaa Onyilo
said those behind the rumour do not mean well for Nigeria as a country that is
trying to overcome long years of strangulation imposed by their benefactors.
He said such
rumour reveals the depth to which morals have sunken and the desperation of the
beneficiaries of corruption want an end to the current war on corruption so
that they can again return the country to the path of perfidy.
He said the
Group is pleased at the promptness with which the Presidency dispelled the evil
rumors around the health of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is currently on a
medical leave with us here in the United Kingdom.
According to
Onyilo, even as Mr President continues with his rest for the duration of his
leave, the prayers of the millions of Nigerians who are yearning for the
disruption of the status quo imposed by corruption would not go unanswered.
He said,”The
irresponsible news could only have been floated by those that want to see
Nigeria go up in flames. Unfortunately, they failed to realize that the change
and reforms initiated by Mr President would outlive everyone since they are
targeted at strengthening institutions and building systems.
“We
therefore want to warn the purveyors of such rumors to desist as their act
affect more than President Buhari. At a time when our dear country is working
to contain the pressure on the naira, their action has served to further spook
the currency and shake investors’ confidence. When this happens, citizens that
played no role in starting the lies would suffer for it.”
