From the video, the 80-year-old is seen to be in good health and high spirits as he was walking around the room speaking in Hausa. "Baba Mamman Daura, hail and hearty. Spritely as always! The man who our unfortunate media claimed to have been flown abroad for treatment. Our media is at its worst. Anything goes. Any damn ridiculous thing. All for clicks? No fact-checks, just conjectures and fake news," Johannes tweeted. His family had earlier confirmed that the elder statesman flew out of the country for a routine medical checkup, but it was not an emergency. Denying claims Daura's family member said: “Mallam did not travel to the UK to treat COVID-19 or because of any medical emergency. He is in good health. He went for his regular check-up and there is nothing strange about that.” This is coming a few days after, a report by Daily Trust claimed a nephew of President Buhari was flown to the UK for medical treatment.

Daura said Nigeria does not need a rotational presidency which he said has been done three times. He, instead, posited that Nigeria must look beyond the region to elect its new leader in 2023.
