Special Adviser to Ondo State Governor on Sports, Akin Akinbobola berated President Muhammadu Buhari over his decision to visit London for ear infection treatment while stressing that Ondo State has all the required medical facilities to treat him.
Akinbobola said Buhari’s decision to visit abroad for treatment has a negative implications on the Nigerian economy.
He said,”Nigeria is in a period when the talk for diversifying the economy is high, we also talking about patronage to made-in-Nigeria goods and services.
It is very unfortunate that our president and his party are treating and portraying our own services and goods as substandard, and available just for the less privileged only.
“Good and very up-to date facilities abound in Nigeria that can handle such ailment. Ondo State today is proud to have state of the art Tertiary medical institutions. it’s worthy of note to mention that the medical village in Ondo gets referrals from abroad.
“Mr. President could have used Ondo State medical facilities for treatment. except he is biased about Ondo state being a PDP state.
However, I think, issues bothering on health treatment are just too sensitive and should not be politically premised.” He noted
“One wonders what exactly the job of the Minister of Health is? He is supposed to have records of facilities and medical professionals we have across this country.”
He added, “President is expected at this period when the Nation is suffering from serious foreign exchange deficit to play a leadership model by patronizing Nigerian goods and services, especially where we have internationally competitive and reputable services in health provision.”
