Calling me Jubril from Sudan wasn’t a funny joke – President Buhari

President Buhari has described the claim that he had “died” and was replaced by one Jibril from Sudan, as a joke that was not funny. He said the development was the handiwork of some mischief makers to demonstrate their cheekiness

The president spoke in reaction to a documentary shown at a dinner organized by his family and very closed associates, to celebrate his 80th birthday tagged “Celebrating A Patriot, a Leader, an Elder Statesman

When asked by the interviewer if he heard about the crazy rumor a while back that he was not Buhari, he replied;

“Yes! People said I am somebody from Sudan. I didn’t bother with the name. Nigerians have mischievous ways of explaining themselves.”

Asked how he finds such jokes passed around, the President said;

“Is not funny because those who made those statement, they just want to be cheeky. They want to distract attention from the main issues.
