Malami, a member of the Presidential committee probing suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal and the director-general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayo Oke, disclosed after the meeting that the panel could submit its report on Wednesday May 3.
Malami who stated this when he spoke to the State House correspondents at the presidential villa, Abuja, however refused to answer questions on whether the committee would heed demands to make its report public.

It’s not necessary for you to see pictures of you are a doubting Thomas. I remembered when he was in London, when they were showing pictures, you people said you want videos, soon or soonest, you will see him again.

Just keep deceiving yourself, soonest is the death news of him. You think IBB, Obj and Abdulsalam ‘s meeting in Minna is just baseless, they met to decide who the next president should be because they know Buhari is dead or can’t survive.

You are completely mad. If you wish Baba Buhari dead, it is you that will go to the land beyond before him. Did IBB, Obj and Abdulsalam told you that?

This story is not detailed enough, we need Tobi knowbthe content of Buhari’s meeting with these people. The main reason he decided to call them indoors – – and did the president say anything about his health health?

We don’t even care about the details of their meeting, what we should care about now is the state of health of Buhari. I just hope he’s alive.

How long will they fool Nigerians for crying out loud, they have started their hanky panky game with us to tell us Buhari is healthy, if he can entertain reports, then he should be able to entertain press release.
