US-based Nigerian journalist and sickle cell advocate, Pamela Mojekwu has stated that contrary to claims that All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) is fine, he “obviously has testicular cancer”.
In a statement she made yesterday afternoon (Nigerian Time) on her Facebook wall, Mojekwu, CEO of Sickle Cell United Chicago, Illinois, USA, said:
“Buhari obviously has testicular cancer and is in UK receiving treatment. Why are his followers being ever so secretive and abusive to others about it? He will not be the 1st nor will he be the last to get cancer of the balls. I hate to say it is quite normal but I will not.”
Responding to one of those who reacted to her post, Pamela Mojekwu, a celebrity keep fit expert in Nigeria before relocating to the USA, wrote: “My issue with this whole thing is not that he has cancer but that his followers are hiding it and are so quick to HURL insults at people who ask. Cancer is not the issue.”
Meanwhile, General Muhammed Buhari, failed to attend the presidential rally organised by APC Diaspora Community in the United Kingdom.
Buhari arrived in London last Thursday and was scheduled to meet with the Nigerian community, APC supporters in UK and give a talk later in the week at Chatham House, the Royal Institute of Public Affairs.
However, APC supporters across the UK who converged at the Everlasting Arms Ministries Church in East London for the presidential rally, were disappointed when the party flag bearer did not turn up.
Although no reason was given for his absence, the party’s spokesman, Lai Mohammed, debunked rumours that Buhari was ill, adding that the rally was not part of Buhari’s itinerary.
Mohammed said since the APC candidate arrived in the UK, he had been meeting and consulting with political leaders, while also having some rest after his energy-sapping nationwide campaign.
He, however, assured those present that Buhari would be at the Chatham House event billed for February 26.
