Audio: Buhari Greets Nigerians from London

On Saturday, Special Assistant to the president on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, made public a statement on Buhari’s message from London, but some Nigerians doubt if the message was from President Buhari.

The president has been absent from public events since travelled on May 7 to London for medical follow-up.

BBC aired a recorded audio of the president’s message on Sunday, and here is a link attached to the audio

Buhari spoke in Hausa in the one minute, two seconds audio.

According to TheCable, NAN reported that some Nigerian radio stations also aired the message but it is not clear if it was the presidency that released the message to BBC, but

Below is the content of the message:

“I am immensely grateful to God for his mercy in guiding us successfully to conclude another Ramadan fast. My greetings to all Nigerian Muslims and our brother Christians on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr.

May the lessons of Ramadan namely; piety, self-denial, prayers and generosity to the poor and needy be with us for all time.

I, again, appeal to all Nigerians to avoid reckless statements

or actions against our fellow countrymen. We should all resolve to live in peace and unity in our great country, which is the envy of many less endowed nations”.
