“Poor @ProfOsinbajo, even he had to deal with the rumours — Some people reached out to him to consider them to be his Vice President because they assumed I was dead. That embarrassed him a lot; we discussed it when he visited me while I was convalescing.’’
Buhari who would be 76-year-old on December 15, 2018 said: “I can assure you all that this is the real me. Later this month I will celebrate my 76th birthday. And I’m still going strong!’’

President Muhammadu promised he would celebrate his birthday.
“I will soon celebrate my 76th birthday,’’ President Buhari stated on Sunday in a tweet.
Earlier, Buhari commended the Super Falcon for the defeat of their South Africa’s counterpart Banyana Banyana.
“I commend the coaching crew, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the Supporters Club and all football-loving Nigerians for the hard work and the support given to our heroic Super Falcons. I have never doubted the capacity of Nigerians to excel when given the right support.’’
Mischief makers in the opposition have been peddling rumour that President Buhari had died and that he had been cloned.
They said President Buhari was actually Jubril from Sudan who is now acting as Nigerian president.
He reacted to the rumour for the first time on Sunday in Poland where he is attending Climate Change conference.
