NewsRescue editor– It is possible the president is struggling to find out who exposes his every move to the press; most urgently after the press described upset Ministers reporting him “eloping with the Minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madukwe in the UK,” which has been obviously very damaging to his reputation and possibly his marriage. The press also reported that he got drunk-sick after his 56th birthday celebrations, attributing this to his hospitalization and missing the investors’ council meeting he went to attend.
