There’s an unverified report by Twitter user, Deriano Agada (@derianoForbes), claiming Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari is presently in coma in a London hospital.
‘My cousin working in a hospital in London says @MBuhari is in coma in a private ward,’ he tweeted, adding that, ‘He went through a surgery and it was unsuccessful.’
He also tweeted that the president is ‘incapacitated’ and never wrote nor sent a letter to the senate himself before his Twitter account – created in 2009 – was taken down.

As a result, Nigerians have reacted over the claims that Buhari is in ‘coma’, even though we can’t confirm how true the report is yet as the presidency remains silent on the matter.
It’s not surprising
Oh wow, what’s this about Buhari being in a coma. Not surprising if it’s true but it’s just sad

If it’s worth listening to, it’s worth questioning
Buhari is in a coma?

At the moment, all we can do is pray
@DailyPostNGR Buhari is in a U.K clinic and not a hospital! Serial liar! Just pray hard he’s revived from coma, or else you guys are doomed!

Also, Facebook user, Ifegod Nwofor said: ‘The truth can only be hiding for a short time before it will surface.’
Macaulay Micheal Itowei added: ‘God, if it is time for Buhari to leave this world according to your will, let him go peacefully. But if is not your will for him to die, God heal him right now in that hospital bed by your mighty power. Let him come back to Nigeria with sound body in Jesus Name. Without God’s will, nothing can be done.’
Bring him in coma to ‘continue his course’
What are your thoughts about this?
