Femi Adesina discloses only Buhari can tell of His Health Status
The presidential Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina roported to the Nigerian Tribune that
“It is only the president himself that can declare that. And when he came back from London on March 10, he said it
that he had never been that sick in his life. That is a declaration of his health status.
“It is within his prerogative to do that. Nobody can do it for him. Not even the doctors treating him can do it
for him. Under the Hippocratic Oath, nobody can do it except the patient.
“Nobody; under the Hippocratic Oath, it says that even the doctor has no right to reveal the health status of his patient to anybody. So, it’s only Mr President that
can say what exactly is wrong with him.
“If anybody has put himself in suspense, he’s just doing it for himself because it’s not necessary. The law
does not compel a president to reveal what is wrong with him. It does not.”
