Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Geoffrey Onyeama, on Saturday declared that President Muhammadu Buhari is fit
and in excellent shape.
He spoke to newsmen at the UN
headquarters in New York.
Onyeama said Buhari is “firing
up” to lead the Nigerian delegation to the 72nd Session of the UN General
Assembly.
Onyeama dismissed speculations in
some quarters about the president’s health and his ability to withstand the
rigours of the high-level event scheduled from September 19 to 25.
“President Muhammadu Buhari is in
very good health to lead the UN General Assembly delegation.
“The president is in excellent
form in every way possible. We had the Federal Executive Council Meeting on
Wednesday that lasted very long beyond the usual.
“He presided over the Federal
Executive Council meeting throughout. He’s now firing up and very fantastic,”
Onyeama said.
Recall that Nigerian Eye reported
that Buhari will depart Nigeria on Sunday.
He will join other world leaders
at the welcoming reception to be hosted by the UN Secretary General, Antonio
Guterres, and also hold a bilateral meeting with the UN scribe.
The Nigerian leader is billed
to have a a lunch meeting with President Donald Trump of the United States of
America, along with other world leaders.
Buhari, who will be accompanied
by the governors of Zamfara, Ebonyi and Ondo States, and key cabinet ministers,
will transit through London on his way back to the country.
