Ahmed Bashir, ex-aide to the immediate past President, Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday, confirmed that his former boss is in a stable condition.
The development comes after a report circulated in the media space that Buhari is in critical condition.
While reacting to the claims, Bashir in a tweet on X platform formerly known as Twitter admitted that the president is ill but not in critical condition.
He tweeted: “In light of the recent media reports suggesting that former President Muhammadu Buhari is critically ill and has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), we find it necessary to set the record straight.
“It is true that former President Buhari is unwell and is currently receiving medical attention. However, contrary to the exaggerated claims circulating in the media, he is stable and responding well to treatment and we are optimistic about his full recovery.
“We appreciate the outpouring of prayers and goodwill from his supporters and well-wishers around the world. We continue to pray for his complete and speedy recovery”.
