Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has said that those criticizing Buhari for seeking medical treatment abroad are out to de-market him.
Stressing that Buhari is not the only Head of State seeking treatment abroad, Lai Mohammed further stated that the Nigerian leader has a personal physician of over 30 years who understands his case and has been managing him.
He also said that everyone has the power to choose their doctor irrespective of their nationality.
The minister who averred that it will not be right for Buhari to seek treatment in the country because of what people are going to say, also claimed the country’s health sector is not in comatose to warrant a vote of no confidence on the sector in spite of the challenges the country is facing.
Mohammed pointed out that the World Health Organisation (WHO) rated Nigeria fourth in terms of the national response to COVID-19.
