The images of Murtala Mohammed, Sani Abacha and Umar Yar'Adua, all former heads of state who died in office was placed beside the picture of Muhammadu Buhari.
Below the advert is an inscription that reads, “will you allow history to repeat itself?” and “Enough of state burials! Nigerians, Vote Wisely: Vote Goodluck Jonathan. Northern Presidency should wait until 2019.”
An indication that Buhari may also die in office if elected as president.
Buhari's facebook page published a rejoinder this morning.
"Governor Fayose of Ekiti State released this advert on the front page of the Punch and Daily Sun newspapers this morning, abusing a Bible verse and insulting Muslims, especially Northerners.
According to the presidential candidate of the leading opposition, All Progressives' Congress (APC) who was attacked in the adverts,
"He put three former Heads of State who are Muslims and Northerners together in images and suggested that what happened to them may happen to Muhammadu Buhari.
“First, it is totally unprofessional and abusive to Ethical codes of Journalism for Punch and Sun Newspapers to publish such content. Punch and Sun Newspapers must revoke the advert immediately and apologize to the people of Nigeria, Buhari and the APC for such folly.
“Second, If till now, there is no denouncement of the post from PDP and GEJ, it means that they support it because Fayose is a stakeholder of the party and a front man for GEJ’s campaign.
“GEJ signed a peace pact last week against election violence and he, through the insensitivity of this advert, is the first to break that pact.
“The Jonathan administration is cruising on lies and propaganda. It is bent on amassing votes to siphon more public funds and has no interest of Nigerians at heart. It is bound to fail.
“We are for peace. Make sure you get your PVC and vote these bigots out of power come February 14. Encourage your neighbors, let them know that GEJ has nothing to offer them but lies and empty
“Let us channel our frustration for a good cause," he concluded.
This is not the first time insinuations were made about Buhari's health. A few datlys ago, Femi Fanu-Kayode, the director of media and communications in Jonathan's reelection team, said the retired general is dying of prostate cancer and is undergoing intensive treatment at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital(ABUTH).
The report was adjudged spurious when ABUTH publicly denied the report.
