Chris Ngige, a medical doctor and the current Minister of Labour and Employment, has revealed that President Buhari is healthier than 80% of Nigerians. .
.
According to him: “That man (Buhari) you see there is healthier than 80 percent of Nigerians. I’m a medical doctor, I can tell you authoritatively that he is healthier than most people who see his health as an issue. .
.
He sits for over eight hours during our executive meetings. While some of us would be going for tea break to stretch our legs, Mr President would sit on his seat continuously, drinking only water. .
.
I can tell you authoritatively as a medical doctor of over three decades standing that Mr President is physically and mentally healthy. He is healthier than 80% of Nigerians.” .
.
Ngige said Nigerians should count themselves blessed to have such personality as their leader, saying that age and experience are two indices the president has, that could not be found in those who are eyeing the presidential seat in 2019. .
.
He also added that contrary to the believe that Buhari is too old for leadership, he is actually at the best age to offer mature leadership, as older people make better leaders. .
.
He noted that when Malaysia was in trouble, politically and economically, it had to beckon on a 93-year-old , Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad, to lead it as prime minister.
