The Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), has discredited the<\/p>\n
purported report said to have emanated from the hospital to the effect
\nthat General Muhammadu Buhari is stricken with cancer, the APC
\nPresidential Campaign Organisation has said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A statement by the Directorate of Media and Publicity of the APC Campaign
\nin Abuja on Saturday described as disdainful, distractive, mischievous,
\nfake and fallacious the trending news report of an alleged prostate cancer
\ncondition of its presidential flag bearer, Buhari being credited to a
\nsource from the renowned Teaching Hospital.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“It (report of cancer) is untrue and condescending of its exponents. I
\nhave it on good authority that GMB has not visited the Ahmadu Bello
\nUniversity Teaching Hospital in the last five years. So, how can anyone
\nsay that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last October, barely three
\nmonths ago?” Garba Shehu, Director, Media and Publicity of the Campaign
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“This is the highest point of political distraction, malice and mischief.
\nThe report was not only fake but unfounded. I have spoken to impeccable
\nsources at ABUTH all of whom deny the report and also claimed that the
\nletterhead used was not their regular one, and that Dr. Bala Mohammed that
\npurportedly approved the false Medical Report is not on the personnel list
\nof that department,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Aside, Shehu said sources at ABUTH also disclosed that \u201cMedical Report
\nanalysis only come from Laboratory Technologists and not Medical Doctors
\nas handwritten in this particular case, stressing that General Buhari did
\nnot attend the hospital for cancer or any other ailment.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Shehu also dismissed as figment of the imagination of “wicked and evil
\npersons,” rumour that General Buhari may be travelling to the United
\nStates towards the end of this month for medical check up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He restated its earlier statement on Friday that Buhari is as fit as a
\nfiddle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Shehu while dismissing the report as fabrications, however, said that “as
\na prominent leader of the opposition, many interests across the Globe want
\nhim (GMB) over for political and diplomatic consultations,” adding that
\nthe “invitation to the US may not be unconnected to this.”<\/p>\n
