The Nigerian Medical Association has told President Muhammadu Buhari to disclose details of his health challenges to Nigerians.
The President of the NMA, Prof. Mike Ogirima, said full disclosure by the President would go a long way to douse growing tension about his wellbeing.
Speaking with journalists on the issue on Thursday, Ogirima described Buhari as the number one public servant and the father of the nation.
“He is the number one public servant and the father of the nation. He has rights and privileges. It will douse a lot of rumours and tension, if he discloses his health status to the public.”
He also called on Nigerians to pray for good health for the President.
“To Nigerians, who are concerned, I wish to advise them to be prayerful, particularly for the good health of our dear father of the nation,” he said.
