I'm physically and mentally fit--Buhari

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.),
on Friday returned to Nigeria after a two-week
trip to the United Kingdom.
Buhari, who arrived at about 5.40am aboard a
British Airways flight, was received by a large
crowd, which included journalists, who had been
at the airport since 4 a.m.
He later addressed the waiting crowd, and spoke
about rumours of his ill-health, describing such
reports as unfounded, saying he was physically
and mentally fit.
The APC candidate said he merely took some
time off his campaign ahead of the March 28
polls to get some rest.
“I just went off for a couple of weeks to rest.
That’s all I did,” he said.
When prodded by newsmen on whether he visited
any hospital and give details of his visit with
prominent politicians while in the United Kingdom,
Buhari said, “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?
“I went to Chatham House. I read an address and
there was a question and answer session, that’s
all.”
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the APC
presidential hopeful left the country on Thursday,
February 19 for London.
He appeared at the Royal Institute of Internal
Affairs, popularly known as Chatham House, to
deliver a lecture.
Buhari delivered a lecture on what he would do to
salvage Nigeria should he emerge winner of the
March 28 presidential election.
He also met a host of prominent politicians
during his visit.
