President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to lingering rumours claiming that he died and was replaced with a certain ‘body double’ called, ‘Jibril Aminu from Sudan’.

The rumours had trended during the recent years of Buhari’s administration following the President’s health crisis and medical trip abroad.

In a documentary shown on Friday night at a private dinner organised by his family and very close associates, Buhari said the claims were not funny to him.

He said in the documentary, “Yes! People said I am somebody from Sudan. I didn’t bother with the name. Nigerians have mischievous ways of explaining themselves.

“No. it’s not funny because those who made those statements, just want to be cheeky. They want to distract attention from the main issue.

“Our main issue is to do the infrastructure, make people aware that they need to work hard to live well. They just want to enjoy life without earning the respect of their community and so on.”
