Ahmad Gogel, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Sunday, July 20, said rumours that Abdullahi Ganduje is receiving treatment in London "are completely baseless".

Legit.ng reports that some blogs had reported that Ganduje, the immediate past national chairman of the ruling APC, was rushed to the emergency department of specialist doctors in London.

They cited a tweet which claimed that Ganduje is in a critical health condition and sought prayers for his well-being.

This comes amid the mourning of former Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari, who died on Sunday, July 13, 2025, in London, while receiving medical treatment.

Reacting to the rumours via his known X (formerly Twitter) handle, Gogel fumed at the rumours about Ganduje's alleged ill-health, saying the 75-year-old "is in London for official engagements, not due to any health issues."

In another social media post a few hours later, Gogel stated that he had a conversation with Muhammad, the youngest son of Baba, receiving assurance that the Kano politician is in good health.

Gogel wrote: "We thank God for his continued well-being and pray for his lasting health and strength."

Claims that Ganduje is unwell are completely baseless. He is in London for official engagements, not due to any health issues.

I had a conversation with Muhammad, the youngest son of Baba Ganduje, who assured me that Baba is in good health.
This clearly dispels the false rumors circulating about his condition.
