Orji Kalu, chief whip of the senate, says President
Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to some parts of the south-east will dispel the rumour
that he was dead and had been cloned.
Speaking on Sunday, the chief whip commended Buhari for his
recent visit to the south-east, saying the visit will calm agitations in the
region.
Buhari had visited Imo and Ebonyi states on September 9,
where he inaugurated some projects.
Kalu enjoined the president to “put in more time” in going
around the country so that people will see him and know that he is still the
same Buhari.
At a point, rumours were rife that Buhari had died and had
been replaced by one Jubril from Sudan.
The rumour started in 2017 when the president spent 150 days
in the UK treating an undisclosed ailment while the presidency failed to
disclose his health status.
The rumoured death of the president, which is false and
without any proof, is often peddled by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB).
“I want to congratulate President Buhari for going to the
south-east, he needs more of those visits,” Kalu said.
“Whether the visit is bitter, happiness or anything, it is a
commendable initiative, and I commend him.
“He has gone to Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri and should continue
to be going around as those are part of the things a president needs to calm
the system down. So, I commend him for making that trip, and he should not
regret embarking on the trip.
“It was a very good one in my observation, and he should put
more time to go to the other parts of the country so that people can see him
and know that he is Buhari.
“This is because a lot of lies have been told that it is not
Buhari living in the villa.
“I have fought so many wars in my village, people will come
from far and near, and they tell me it is not Buhari, and I will say listen, I
just had tea with this man last night.
“And it is the same man I know for 32 years, so it is good
for the president to make this kind of visit. I encourage him, let him not
relent and let nobody make him feel he wasn’t in the right direction.
“So I commend him, and we are still waiting for him to come
to Abia.”
