President Buhari eventually found an opportunity to react to the argument that he is no more the Buhari people elected in 2015.
He is said to have died when he was terribly sick and treated in London.
The joke is that the original Buhari is gone, and that his guys went to bring a Jibril from Sudan.
In a documentary unveiled at the weekend in Abuja, he said he did not find the joke funny.
He said: “Yes! People said I am somebody from Sudan. I didn’t bother with the name. Nigerians have mischievous ways of explaining themselves.
“Is not funny because those who made those statement, they just want to be cheeky. They want to distract attention from the main issues.”
