A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Otunba Mohammed Ilupeju, has assured that President Muhammadu Buhari will return home safely.

In his words: “President will return to the country safely with his two legs ,contrary to the wicked expectations of the few of our People and their Foreign collaborators.
“We should have fear of God and stop ridiculing our leaders with death any time any of them is having health challenges rather, we should be praying for them so that they can get well on time and continue with their work.
” None of our religions support this wicked act, be it Christianity .Islam or traditional Worshipers, the other time it was the late Alhaji Musa Yar”adu,today it is President Buhari, who knows the next one?
“All those behind this wicked death rumour are only making us a laughing stock before the international community, what will the gain or interest of these wicked rumour mongers? They want to take over his seat or what? ‘
“God forbids, if anything should happen to the President, Nigeria as a Nation will suffer for it because we will have to start all over again”.
”Nigeria is a fragile nation, the issue of economic recession is there, the Boko Haram matter is there, Castle rustlers are now everywhere, the militants in the Niger Delta are there, People are tired, a small crisis anywhere now can set the whole nation ablaze, it will be in the overall interest of Buhari to come back home safely”, he declared.
Ilupeju, a member of the Governing Council of University of Calabar, said peddlers of rumours on the health of the President should have the fear of God.
