Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to speak to Nigerians so as to quench rumours of his death.
NLC had reacted to a comment by presidential adviser on media, Femi Adesina, that no one can force Buhari to speak.
General Secretary of the NLC, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, told Punch that “In the social media, stories circulate without confirmation; I think that the easiest way is to talk publicly to the nation because the citizens are concerned about their leaders’ whereabouts.
“If there are those who orchestrated rumours and they are not true, the easiest way is for him to reach out to Nigerians through a public appearance and a statement.
“Nigerians have a right to be certain about the health situation of their President and the people who orchestrate rumours and unsubstantiated reports, one would wish for him to call their bluff by publicly addressing the citizens.”
