Protesters Frustrate Buhari’s UK Medical Vacation As He Battles Kidney, Dementia Problems

LAGOS APRIL 15^TH (NEWSRANGERS)-For days now, protesters have continued to picket the Nigerian Embassy in London and the Nigeria House where President Muhammadu Buhari has been observing his medical vacation, frustrating efforts of medical personnel from attending to the president who is suffering pains from the kidney surgical transplant he had, Dementia and Alzheimer, a source familiar with the President’s situations told Pointblanknews.com.

Buhari who left the shores of Nigeria a fortnight ago is expected to continue with his rehabilitation after he underwent a surgical transplant due to a kidney failure he suffered years ago. He is also being treated of Dementia, a most common debilitating and degenerative
illnesses that affects elderly people which symptoms include slowly loss of senses and functionality.

A source informed our UK correspondent that Nigerian officials in London are having tough times getting access for the British Medics to commence treatment of the President. The protesters under the protection of the UK police are refusing to vacate the premises insisting that President Buhari returns to Nigeria.

The source confirmed that Nigerian government officials went as far as renting a pro-Buhari protesters most of whom were non Nigerians only to be exposed by the British Press as hirelings, which further exposed the desperation of the Nigeria government.

According to the Source, “The protest in front of the Nigerian Embassy in London and also at the home of the Nigerian Ambassador have made life difficult for President Buhari. Day and night people are protesting at both venues.

“Peaceful protests are lawful in the UK. It’s in the open air, so all protesters needed to do was to put on their face masks and maintain social distance.

“The police went to the protest venue but they didn’t stop it. Rather the  police even protected the protesters to make sure that it all goes smoothly.

“What was most ridiculous was that the Nigerian government and officials tried to do what they did at the #ENDSARS protest in Nigeria.

“They went and hired a crowd to stage their own pro Buhari protest. It backfired against them. Some of the hired crowd were not even Nigerians. They were paid to attend. The press interviewed them, they said how much they were paid to stage a pro Buhari protest.

“So the UK government realised that it was getting slightly out of hand. We have had rumours since Monday that they were trying to move President Buhari to Saudi Arabia to continue his medical treatment and rest.

“And if you want to know the real medical condition of our President, it was all analysed in some British Press. Our President suffers from two main conditions. He reportedly had a kidney failure and had a kidney transplant in the UK – that was when he first came here for 6 months.
That explains his gaunt figure and appearance.

“Though we understand that the transplant was successful, he will need to be be seeing his doctors regularly for the rest of his life, to check that his body is tolerant of the transplanted kidney.

“The second condition is Dementia, very common with older people. It is a degenerative disease, and there is no cure. The brain cells are basically shutting down. Medication only slows down the degenerative process, but it cannot stop it.

“Dementia and Alzheimers disease and Parkinson’s  disease are very similar and are the most common debilitating and degenerative illnesses that affect elderly people. People just slowly loose their senses and functionality.

“The signs are all over Buhari; his slow cognitive responses, his blurred speech and distanced looks. This is the main reason why his aides try to shield him from public appearances,  and why they surround him with high powered Chief of Staff, people who can act for him by proxy.

“I do not blame anyone for their illness, and I do not wish illness on anyone, but knowing what we know now, Buhari should not have stood for a second term in 2019. It was a sin against the Nation.”

He also warned Nigerians to be careful with who to entrust its leadership in future particularly, such persons mental and physical capacity.

“Anyone who wish to contest the highest office in the country must have stamina, intellectual capacity and cognitive abilities to withstand the rigours of the office. It is very sad that he has to be saddled in such an office, with all its demands, despite these ailments. He should have
been advised to step down.

“This is one of the same problem that I have with the proposed candidacy of ASIWAJU Ahmed Tinubu. He also is not in the best of health. He is also beginning to manifest the signs of dementia. Have you seen his public appearances and presentations of late. These people are not
mentally fit for the highly demanding rigour of such high office. By 2023, Tinubu will be 71 or 72 years old. He had a history of drug abuse and even still has a case pending in the USA for drug dealing and money laundering. I think Nigeria deserves better”, he said.
