Nigerians have taken to their social media accounts to react to President Muhammadu Buhari’s four-day medical trip to the United Kingdom to see his doctor.
Nigerians reaction followed a statement issued on Monday by Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, who insisted that the President’s trip is at the instance of his doctor.
Wuzup Naija recalls that Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, had explained then that Buhari was battling with what he called “persistent ear infection.”
One Innocent Ifidon, who commented on the story on The Punch Facebook page, said he no longer wonder why the president does not hear the cry of the people.
Another commenter, Iriri Ezeugo, who reacted to the story also noted that he is still waiting for the day President Trump and May will come for medicals in Nigeria.
Also, Ayodele GS Sunday said goodbye to the president because Nigeria doesn’t have a hospital, while Jhon Peterson expressed shock that the president just came back from London on Friday and he is going back today.
Peterson, who noted that it was just barely four days Buhari came back, reiterated that “free is very sweet.”
Speaking also, Segun Ibitoye Gcfr, who seems confused on hearing the news of the president’s trip noted that there is an ENT hospital in Kaduna.
Mr President,This is a tweet from 2015 were you said that you were victimised by the ruling party,Now you have travelled to the UK for this same medical condition more than 8times!yet you seek re-election? Sir, are you not wicked? Doctors are on strike in this country! https://t.co/NRhwqv6e3w

Baba should be more transparent and upfront with Nigerians, this is the result of the “technical stop over” in London….wish you safe return!

For the sake of transparency and accountability which you and your party stands for, can you atleast tell Nigerians the nature of your unending sickness and the amount of tax-payers money spent so far on this sickness of yours? Thanks.

Buhari, you will not be missed. Under your evil and useless administration, so many people have been killed and you are prancing about as President of Nigeria. You’re the worst thing that ever happened to Nigeria. Resign immediately and let others sort out the mess you created.

Even Criminals Employed into Aso Villa Clinic not making d Hospital Accessible, d Civil service is filled with Corrupt Elements.

Your doctor could fly in to Abuja (you are a president), all expense paid, to see you, if it was a simple appointment
It must be something serious to demand TWO visits to his clinic in five days…

Senator Akpabio built a world class hospital in Akwa Ibom with Doctors trained by the best medical institutions in the world, we will treat you FOC. Fulfill your campaign promises and stop wasting our resources abroad.
