The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has denied media reports that he is terminally ill.
But shortly after he made the denial in Abuja on Sunday, the Peoples Democratic Party challenged him to take a brisk walk or jog round a stadium if, indeed, he was hale and hearty.
Some newspapers and on-line publications; had in their Sunday editions, published that the former military ruler was to be flown out of the country for medical attention.
Buhari told journalists that the report on his state of health was orchestrated by some individuals not only to gain undue political advantage but to divert public attention from corruption which had assumed the front burner of national discourse.
He said, “There were reports that I was to jet out for medical check-up on Saturday but here I am. I was in Nasarawa and Benue states on Saturday and tomorrow (today), I will be in two states.
