not been speaking the truth and lots more. He has his own theory. Read below:
What is your
reaction to the President’s indefinite postponement of his return to Nigeria?
I wish him
well and pray for his quick recovery.
Do you think
the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, and Femi Adesina are saying the
truth about the President’s health status?
I was
listening to Lai Mohammed last night. He said the President is hale and hearty.
Using the phrase “hale and hearty” for the President who went to the UK on a
10-day leave and had to extend it, shows something is not right.
First,
Nigerians were told that Buhari was going on vacation and that he would do
checkup. At the end of the 10 days, we
were told his doctor asked him to wait to obtain the result of some medical
tests, and he comes out again to tell us he is hale and hearty. From their
evidence, both Lai Mohammed and the Femi Adesina are talking nonsense. One said
the President is sick. Mohammed said he is hale and hearty. Yet when the time
came for him to resume, he didn’t.
Are you saying
they are lying?
We should ask:
does one do medical tests for somebody who is hale and hearty? That is their
language. I am only criticising them based on the evidence they provided. They
(Mohammed and Adesina) are inconsistent, incoherent and they do not show
sincerity (in their communication of the president’s health status). I am not a
fool. Nigerians are not fools.
They are being
economical with the truth. Adesina and Mohammed are talking balderdash. They
are taking us for a ride. My own experience is that when somebody is sick and
you can’t say what is wrong with him, doctors would ask such a fellow to do a
series of test. And yet you tell us the man is hale and hearty.
Nobody wants
Buhari dead but they are not telling us the truth. Human beings can fall sick,
which is natural. What is wrong in saying this man has an ailment? It is now
left for people to pray for speedy recovery. Yet, our hopes were raised that
there is nothing wrong with the man and yet he cannot resume. They forget that
all of us have a stake in his health. They are insulting our intelligence.
Some have been
clamouring for a law to stop public office-holders from seeking medical
treatment abroad. Is this reasonable?
A law like
that may infringe on individual’s rights. We can only say if any public
office-holder wants medical treatment abroad, it should not be at the expense
of the country. If a public office-holder feels that the medical service he
desires cannot be obtained here, he can go abroad but not at public’s expense.
What is your
comment on Buhari’s refusal to use the Aso Rock clinic despite the huge budget
voted for it?
It is a
fundamental issue for us in this country to equip our hospitals so that nobody
would have to go abroad for medical treatment. This is one of the things we
want the government to change and proffer solutions to. We have the expertise
but we lack the equipment.
