The Presidency has been forced to deny death rumours fuelled by the president’s lack of communication and insists that the president is “hale and hearty.”

However, concerns about the president’s health were intensified when he wrote the Senate on February 5 requesting an indefinite extension of his medical leave.

In the letter, which was addressed to Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Buhari told the Senate that he would not return till “the doctors had ruled out certain factors.”

In a bid to quell the rumours however, the Presidency has released photos of the president in London; first of him resting in a chair at the Abuja House and subsequently receiving All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders, Bola Tinubu and Bisi Akande.
