Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari is not dead — contrary to the strong rumours making the rounds in the country – The Presidency said on Saturday night.

“He is alive and well! President Buhari is not magical. He cannot be holidaying in the UK and be in Germany, dead or alive at the same time,” Garba Shehu, one of Buhari’s spokesmen, said in a short post on his Facebook page.

Buhari proceeded on a ten-day vacation in the UK on Thursday and is expected to resume work on February 6, 2017.

Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina had assured that there is nothing to worry about the President’s routine medical checkup while on his vacation.

The President himself also made it clear that there is nothing wrong with going on vacation, just before stepping into the presidential jet.
