The former president wondered how, if at all it was true, someone like Buhari will die and the development will be kept a secret, Sahara Reporters reports.
He said it is even appalling that some persons on social media believe and propagate the fake news that the president after his alleged death was secretly replaced with one Jubrin from Sudan.
Social media can be misused
Obasanjo warned that social media, which has come as a blessing to this generation, can be abused.

He stated:
“Somebody came to me, a very high hub person, saying tell me about this talk of Buhari not being Buhari.
“I said ‘do you believe them?’ He said, ‘well, it is in the social media’. I said ‘how will Buhari die and we will not know that Buhari has died and they will bring us somebody from Sudan to be Buhari?’
“It’s ridiculous to the extreme. But you have it in the social media and you see people believing it."
