Speaking in an interview with Channels TV this morning, Adesina said ”When you talk of guarantee, man cannot guarantee anything, not even life because somebody can be here in the morning and gone in the afternoon. So in terms guarantee, nobody can guarantee anything. But in terms of the health of Mr. President, I will say there is no cause for alarm because he is up and about. He is doing his duties and what he is going for is a review. We all need that from time to time. There is nobody that is 100% healthy. He will leave today and come back on Saturday as planned by like I have said, it is only God that has the final authority on things but all things being equal, Mr President will be back on Saturday”.

”The president is going to London just for a medical review. He will be away for four days and back to the country by the grace of God on Saturday May 12th.”.

Adesina said the manner of ailment of the president is personal to him:

”That is something personal. The fact that a man is the president does not remove his rights and privileges to privacy. So unless Mr President comes out voluntarily to tell the country what he is being treated for…even his medical doctor cannot disclose his medical condition”.
