Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad has countered report of Mamman Daura being flown out to the UK for emergency treatment with a new video of him making a phone call. 

Bashir Ahmad who stated that Mamman Daura is hale and hearty, asked Nigerians to disregard the report. 

He tweeted; 

No iota of truth in the earlier story that Mallam Mamman Daura was flown to London for an emergency medical attention, he is hale and hearty, Nigerians should disregard that story.

Mamman Daura’s son, Mohammed who also commented on the report described it as wicked and reminded those behind the story of their own mortality.

He said in a statement; 

 “Today is the 21st of August, 2020 and for the past couple of days, we have been forced to deny, numerous times, a completely fabricated story about our father’s wellbeing. Alhamdulillah Baba is perfectly fine. He neither has a history of renal problems nor does he have any breathing difficulties like was suggested in the concocted news story.

“Those that happily shared and even rejoiced over this fake news story should know one thing about life is that no one makes it out alive. We should collectively be humbled by our own mortality.

“We would like to extend our gratitude to the many well-wishers who have called or sent messages to pray for our father. We thank you for the prayers and well wishes.”
