There is a good chance questions on President Buhari's health would be asked and the presidency will address alleged rumours that the president is dead.

Earlier, NAIJ.com reported that the controversy stirred by Eric Joyce over the alleged death of President Buhari has continued to set social media agog.

Joyce, an ex-British parliamentarian, took to social media a few days ago announcing that Nigeria's president had passed on. It must be noted that the news was strongly labelled as fake and Joyce got some bashing.

The presidency however revealed that the information revealed by British politician Eric Joyce that Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari is dead is not true.

In a series of tweets by Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu, the presidency described the information as plain lies spread by vested interests to create panic.

NAIJ.com reports that Buhari returned to London recently for medical checks and any Nigerians have been calling for prayers for him since then.
