President Muhammadu Buhari’s health condition has dipped so much so that he is being fed through the veins because he has difficulty eating and drinking fluids for several days.

Quoting Aso Rock sources, Sahara Reporters said the problems have left him too frail to leave his official residence at Aso Rock Villa to attend any official functions.

Buhari has missed three Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings so far, and also failed to attend the last Friday Juma’at prayers.

“He had to undergo urgent medical treatment that had him confined to a medical room secretly set up inside the residential area of the villa,” the online whistleblower reported Tuesday.

It also stated that Buhari’s British doctors had sent a medical team to the Villa to attend to him.

“However, our sources revealed that the medical team advised that the president should immediately return to the United Kingdom to begin what they described as a slow, complex and long-term treatment that could prolong his life.”

But sources said a cabal within the presidency has been working at cross-purposes to all the plans to get Buhari back to the UK to continue his treatment.

“Our sources named Chief of Staff Abba Kyari as the anchor of the cabal which also includes Mamman Daura, a businessman, and Mr. Buhari’s kinsman,” Sahara Reporters said.
