PRESIDENTIAL candidate of the All
Progressives Congress for the February 14 election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.), has said that campaigns should focus on national
issues and not on his state of health and dead Nigerian leaders.
Buhari’s advice came a day after some
members of the Peoples Democratic Party raised doubts about his health
status and after an advert by Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose warned
Nigerians against voting for a 72-year-old man.
In the said advert, Fayose claimed that
since three ex-leaders from the North-West had died in office, it would
not be wise for Nigerians to vote for Buhari “because we are tired of
state burials.”
Buhari, in a message on his official
Twitter handle said, “How can his (President Goodluck Jonathan) campaign
be talking about ex-dead leaders, jogging around the stadium and
outright lies about health?”
