Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Discredits Reports That Muhammad Buhari Has Cancer

The Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital has announced that reported diagnosis of prostate cancer of Muhammad Buhari didn’t come from them.

The APC’s director of media and publicity, Garba Shehu, made this known on Saturday, describing it as “mischief”.

“It (report of cancer) is untrue and condescending of its exponents. I have it on good authority that GMB has not visited the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital in the last five years. So, how can anyone say that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last October, barely three months ago?” Shehu said.

“This is the highest point of political distraction, malice and mischief. The report was not only fake but unfounded. I have spoken to impeccable sources at ABUTH all of whom deny the report and also claimed that the letterhead used was not their regular one, and that Dr. Bala Mohammed that purportedly approved the false Medical Report is not on the personnel list of that department,” he said.
