Upon being asked whether he visited the hospital while in the UK, Buhari answered:
“What is wrong for me to go the hospital? Am I not here now? Aren’t you seeing me? Are you seeing a sick man?”
The APC candidate also spoke on his appearance at Chatham House.
“I went to Chatham House. I read an address and there was a question and answer session. That’s all,” he said.
Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State and the spokesperson for the PDP campaign organization, Femi Fani-Kayode have alleged that Buhari is not in good health.
