A
group under the aegis of Niger Delta Youth Democrats for Good
Governance has called on Nigerian to shun rumours and other
unsubstantiated negative reports on the health status of President
Muhammadu Buhari.
This is even as it has urged the presidency to continue to allay growing
uncertainties and re-assure the nation with accurate information on the
president’s condition.
President of the group, Comrade Thompson Robert Fuoye, who gave this
admonition after an emergency meeting to access the state of the nation
in Bayelsa state, equally called on Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa
state to forget political differences and use his position, as the
oldest serving governor in the south to convene a meeting of the zonal
governors in Yenagoa, to deliberate on matters affecting the region.
Fuoye, who is also a strong contender for the President of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) in the forthcoming IYC elections, said: “I
want to caution Nigerians to shun rumours surrounding the health of
President Buhari and also advise the presidency to continue to give
Nigerians accurate and timely information on his health.
“We
all know that death is inevitable and the presidency has done well by
debunking the initial rumours, but they must continue to inform us
because the president is our property and we deserve to know his
condition always.
“I also want to urge Governor Seriake
Dickson of Bayelsa state to use his position as a political leader and
the oldest serving governor in the region to call his brother governors
of the region together in Yenagoa, to deliberate on how to move the
Niger Delta forward.
“The
federal government has now indicated willingness in the development of
the region and this is the time for Governor Dickson to play the
leadership role which his position has conferred on him and put
political differences aside in the interest of the Niger Delta.”
