There have been conspiracies and intriguing claims surrounding President Muhammadu Buhari’s health and existence. After the Pro Biafra leader Nnamdi Kanu came out and made an allegation that the Nigerian president had died in 2017 and a cabal comprising northern chieftains in a duplicitous move quickly found a double and secretly foisted a foreigner, a Sudanese called Jubril to play the part of the deceased president, like a stunt double in an action film. Picture evidence spotting differences to back the claim has surfaced to the chagrin of Nigerians.
Muhammadu Buhari✔@MBuhariOne of the questions that came up today in my meeting with Nigerians in Poland was on the issue of whether I‘ve been cloned or not. The ignorant rumours are not surprising — when I was away on medical vacation last year a lot of people hoped I was dead.
Muhammadu Buhari✔@MBuhariPoor @ProfOsinbajo, even he had to deal with the rumours — Some people reached out to him to consider them to be his Vice President because they assumed I was dead. That embarrassed him a lot; we discussed it when he visited me while I was convalescing.
Muhammadu Buhari✔@MBuhariI can assure you all that this is the real me. Later this month I will celebrate my 76th birthday. And I’m still going strong!While some Nigerians believe it is all a hoax and shouldn’t be given more attention, others believe “there is no smoke without fire.”
Juliet ‘Kego #JusticeForOchanya@julietkegoThat seemingly sane human beings, a presidential aspirant & even some media folks believed, shared and sought presidential clarification on this retarded rubbish about a “Sudanese”, makes one wonder if we are living in a twilight zone. These are the folks to reform our Education?
Josh King@royaljoshThis #JubrilBuhari story is so lame. But folks have so bought into it especially little educated folks. Recently, I have had to argue at the top of my voice with folks even better educated that there is no #JubrilBuhari.
I am even calling on the presidency to help. Ayamtayad.
Bashir Ahmad✔@BashirAhmaadJUST IN: “A lot of people hoped that I died during my ill health. It is real me… I will soon celebrate my 76th birthday and I will still go strong.” — President @MBuhari this evening in Kraków, Poland. His response to a question of him being cloned.
YOUNG WAYN ENT.@YOUNGWAYNMENTProbably you all don’t understand the accusation, he is not cloned. He was replaced with someone else that looks like him in the name of #Jubril#JubrilBuhari
JGM rtd@JGM2k10The way people are so defensive and so abusive without any tangible logical reasoning to explain away #Jubril#JubrilBuhari facts makes it a bit more interesting. Worse when they were accused of body double and they are defending cloning.
Guess we will never know.
