Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and
Publicity, Femi Adesina has revealed why his principal cannot seek medical
attention in Nigeria.
Adesina said Buhari could not be treated in Nigeria because
he has his own medical team in the United Kingdom.
According to him, the President has used the medical team
for over 40 years, hence the need to continue seeking medical help in the
country.
He said this while defending Buhari’s frequent medical tour
to the United Kingdom.
Buhari had on Monday departed Abuja
for London to enable him to attend the Global Education Summit on Financing
Global Partnership for Education (GPE) 2021-2025 in the UK.
Disclosing this, Adesina said the President would remain in
London for two weeks to enable him to undergo his earlier scheduled medical
checkup in London.
When asked why the President could not have been treated in
Nigeria, Adesina told Channels Television’s Politics Today, “President Buhari
has been with the same doctors and medical team for upward of 40 years.
“It’s advisable that he continues with those who know his
medical history and that is why he comes to London to see them. He has used the
same medical team for over 40 years. Once you can afford it, then stay with the
team that has your history.”
