Washington Post has also joined the ‘Jubril’ gist on social, and further suggested that President Buhari is a clone on their official Twitter handle.
Washington
Post’s tweet which suggested that President Buhari is a clone, came
after the Nigerian President debunked the Jubril rumour in
Poland. Rumours had been circulating on social media for months that Mr
Buhari had died last year and was replaced by a lookalike from Sudan
called Jubril.
“I can assure you all that this is the
real me. Later this month I will celebrate my 76th birthday. And I’m
still going strong!” Mr Buhari told Nigerians in a town hall session in
Poland, where he was attending a conference.
“One of the questions
that came up today in my meeting with Nigerians in Poland was on the
issue of whether I‘ve been cloned or not.
“The
ignorant rumours are not surprising — when I was away on medical
vacation last year a lot of people hoped I was dead,” Mr Buhari said.
However on their official Twitter handle, Washington Post stated that Buhari’s counter-claim is just what a clone will say.
