President Buhari Going to London For Medical Treatment

President Buhari Going to London For Medical Treatment.

President, Muhammadu Buhari will today Tuesday March 30th fly to London, the United Kingdom, for a routine medical check-up.

The President will meet Security Chiefs first in the morning, after which he embarks on the journey.

President Buhari is due back in the country during the second week of April, 2021, this was disclosed in a statement issued by the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba on the micro-blogging site, Twitter.

“President Muhammadu Buhari proceeds to London, the United Kingdom, Tuesday March 30, 2021, for a routine medical check-up.

“The President meets with Security Chiefs first in the morning, after which he embarks on the journey.

“He is due back in the country during the second week of April, 2021,” the Presidential media aide added.

In every budget from 2015 t0 2021 State House Clinic's figures, and expenditure appeared yet President Muhammadu Buhari has to go all the way to London for Medical Check Up on every year but 2020.

How we arrived to this painful situation is still a bitter thought for reflection. When Baba described seeking medical assistance outside Nigeria as Medical Tourism, I called him patriotic.

And when Baba made it business as usual going for the same medical treatment he condemned, what is expected of us that cheered him is to at the very least constructively criticize him, and that's what I'm doing now.

I'm of the opinion that even if the State House Clinic can't afford President Muhammadu Buhari despite all the previous years budgetary allocations to it, there are some private hospitals, and clinics in Abuja and Lagos that can more than do. They gives service just like those outside Nigeria.

The case of late Abba Kyari, and other prominent Nigerians can vindicate me on this regard. And if it can't, then, they merely engaged them because they had no other alternative; All International flights are grounded.

And based on the body language and patriotic way President Muhammadu Buhari sounded when he condemned seeking medical assistance outside Nigeria, one would think by now, Nigeria has more than 20 such standardized hospitals.

But I guess it's another wash. And Baba Femi Adesina or Baba Garba Shehu will soon say Baba have not said that.
