Fresh reports emerging from London have revealed that Mamman Daura, nephew and long-time confidant of late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has been hospitalized due to an undisclosed illness.
Omo, this is painful — two major political names, back-to-back health crises.
According to multiple sources, Daura’s condition has been described as “very delicate.” He’s currently receiving care in the same city where Buhari passed away just days ago.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, who was in London to facilitate the repatriation of Buhari’s remains, reportedly took time to visit Daura at the hospital, showing the gravity of the situation.
Omo this timing dey heavy… one just gone, another one dey battle for life.
Mamman Daura, often referred to as the “power behind the throne” during Buhari’s administration, is considered one of the most influential political figures in Nigeria’s modern-day history. His input reportedly shaped several key decisions while Buhari was in power.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has declared a public holiday to mourn the passing of Muhammadu Buhari, as tributes continue to pour in from across the globe.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed and wishing Mamman Daura a speedy recovery.
