One of the sons of President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew, Mamman Daura, has denied reports that he is sick.
Mohammed Daura insists that his father was hale and hearty, saying that stories of the senior Daura’s ailment are false.
Daura, who is said to be very influential in the nation’s power circles, was flown to the United Kingdom for medical attention last week.
But Mohammed said the reports were mere fabrications, adding that his father does not have renal problems or breathing difficulties.
“For the past couple of days, we have been forced to deny numerous times a completely fabricated story about our father’s well-being.
“Alhamdulillah. Baba is perfectly fine. He neither has a history of renal problems nor does he have any breathing difficulties like was suggested in the concocted news story,” he said.
Mohammed also counselled those he said have been rejoicing over the news to “know one thing about life is that no one makes it out alive. We should collectively be humbled by our own mortality.”
