The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said President
Muhammadu Buhari’s routine medical trips overseas is an indictment of his
Presidency’s failure to fix Nigeria’s healthcare system.
The party stressed that the current administration has
wrecked the country’s healthcare sector.
Buhari, who had departed Nigeria for the United Kingdom, UK,
would meet with his doctors for a medical check up.
Reacting to the trip, the former ruling party in a series of tweets, charged Buhari to fix the country’s healthcare system.
According to PDP: “It is indeed worrisome that under
President @MBuhari, even the hitherto highly rated State House Clinic, has
become so moribund that it cannot provide a simple medical check-up service for
Mr. President.
“While the @OfficialPDPNig has nothing against where any
person, including President @MBuhari, seeks his or her medical services, our
party is worried that the @MBuhari Presidency is taking no decisive steps to
fix our healthcare system, ostensibly because Mr. President can afford overseas
medical treatment at taxpayers’ expense.
“The @OfficialPDPNig is disturbed that while Mr. President
jets out for medical treatment in well-equipped hospitals abroad, our hospitals
and medical personnel are in very sorry situations while millions of our
compatriots suffer, with many dying on a daily basis from conditions that have
simple medical solutions.
“Our party urges President @MBuhari
to show leadership by reflecting on the fact that millions
of Nigerians cannot afford overseas treatment and have become despondent by his
failure to take decisive steps to address our national healthcare needs.”
