It has been confirmed that while President Buhari is indeed unwell and undergoing medical care, he is *not in critical condition*, nor has he been admitted to the ICU as earlier claimed by some media outlets. A family representative disclosed that the former president is *stable*, *conscious*, and *responding positively to treatment*, describing the reports of deterioration as *exaggerated and misleading*.
Buhari, 81, who served as Nigeria’s civilian president from 2015 to 2023 after a prior stint as military head of state in the 1980s, has had a long and public medical history. During his presidency, he made several extended medical trips to the United Kingdom, which sparked nationwide debates about transparency in government and health disclosures.
In a statement released earlier today, the family expressed appreciation for the immense support, prayers, and goodwill messages pouring in from across Nigeria and abroad.
> “We are grateful for the concern and kind thoughts. The former president is receiving excellent care, and we are optimistic about his full recovery. Please disregard unverified reports designed to stir unnecessary panic.”
This clarification comes as political figures, former aides, and citizens have taken to social media to share messages of support, while also calling for responsible journalism during such sensitive times.
