President Muhammadu Buhari has described the claim that he was dead and reportedly a body double, called ‘Jibril Aminu from Sudan’, occupying the presidential villa in Abuja as a humour taken too far and not funny.
Buhari bared his mind in a documentary shown Friday night at a private dinner organised by his family and associates, to celebrate his 80th birthday tagged “Celebrating A Patriot, a Leader, an Elder Statesman”.
According to him, some Nigerians have a way of creating humour to feast on something they do not understand, saying the development was the handiwork of some mischief makers to demonstrate their cheekiness.
Asked by the interviewer if he heard about the crazy rumour a while back that he was not Buhari, he replied smiling, “Yes! People said I am somebody from Sudan. I didn’t bother with the name. Nigerians have mischievous ways of explaining themselves.”
