The minister made the comments while speaking to State House correspondents after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday, February 8.
“The President is well, hale and hearty. He is not in any way in danger. He is not ill and he is not in hospital,” he said.
Mohammed added that if Buhari was in danger, his ministers would not be going about their normal duties.
