Presidency has reacted to rumour making the rounds on social media that President Muhammadu Buhari has died in London.
It was reported that Mr Buhari died in a London hospital where he was receiving medical care.
The Nigerian Mission in UK was quoted in the report to have confirmed this.
But the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, debunked the rumour.
He said Mr President is well and alive and still holidaying in the UK, where he travelled to few days ago.
“He is alive and well! President Buhari is not magical. He cannot be holidaying in the UK and be in Germany, dead or alive at the same time,” Mr Shehu posted both on his official Facebook and Twitter pages.
However, Mr Shehu threw a shade at a former President, saying “He is unlike a past President who was at Ota, with Chief Obasanjo and attending the Trump inauguration in D.C, being in two places at the same time!”
It would be recalled that on Friday, former President, Mr Goodluck Jonathan, paid a visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his ancestral village in Ibogun, Ogun State.
