Former governor Victor Attah says nobody has the right to debate the president's health
According to the former governor, Nigerians should be contented with the president's words that he is going on a vacation and medical check up since they are not his doctors.
"Why should anybody debate the president’s health? The president said he was going for vacation and medical check up and people are talking. Why should anyone be debating about that? Are they his doctors? Until it is established otherwise, I do not see why anybody should involve himself in such debates," he said.

Going further, Attah who spoke on the state of the nation in an interview with Vanguard claimed that Nigerians are living a false life.
He said: "Let me start with the economy because that is the one that is bothering everybody. People are shouting we are hungry, inflation is high and all of that and nobody can say no. But sometimes, I quote Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, he made a very significant point that most people tend to either forget or ignore. Basically, he made it clear that we were all living falsely, above our means."
