Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of Education and co convener of the #BringBackOurGirls movement has commenced an online campaign to ascertain the physical and mental health status of President Mohammadu Buhari.
In the campaign tagged #MedicalPanelOnBuhari, Ezekwesili called for an independent medical examination of the president because according to her, the country’s conditions had become too grave for Nigerians to sit and watch “a train wreck in the making.”
Ezekwesili stated this in a series of tweets she posted on her Twitter handle, @obyezeks, on Tuesday.
She wrote, “We really must assess the physical or mental capability of @NGRPresident to carry on the duties of office. Citizens can collectively push for an independent panel to help us make the critical medical determination of the state of mind and body of our President, @MBuhari.
“The conditions of Nigeria have become too grave for us all to sit still and watch a train wreck in the making.”
In another set of tweets she wrote, “As an extremely concerned citizen, I hereby demand for a #MedicalPanelOnBuhari since we obviously cannot trust the State House physician to provide us accurate information. It is reasonable demand now for citizens to have full disclosure on the state of health of @MBuhari.”
