Former Buhari photographer dismisses rumors of ‘Jibrin of Sudan’ transformation

Bayo Omoboriowo, former official photographer to President Muhammadu Buhari, has set the record straight on long-standing rumors about the president’s health following his 2017 medical treatment in the United Kingdom.

In a Monday appearance on Channels Television’s “The Morning Brief,” Omoboriowo dismissed claims that Buhari returned from his treatment a diminished figure, earning the nickname “Jibrin of Sudan” in reference to an elderly Sudanese leader whose mental decline became apparent after illness.

The 36-year-old Omoboriowo, who served as Buhari’s photographer for eight years, offered firsthand insight into the president’s condition.
