genuine concern thinking that one can answer factually. But of course, we sadly can’t because as citizens, we don’t even know.

”The presidency really should quickly clean u its current chaotic and confusing public messaging on President Buhari’s health.

”The damage being done the country is deeper than presidency folks can imagine. The poor public messaging is signaling uncertainty.”’

Writing on Yzenithbloga, Soma stated that Nigeria owes the North/Muslims a president given that the region lost power after the death of Umaru Musa Yar’adua in 2010.

He noted that this was a contributing factor to President Buhari’s emergence as president in addition to the fact that ex-President Goodluck Jonathan had had his run and Nigerians were legitimately done with him.
