The radio characters brought up the president's promise to put an end to medical tourism which he had failed to keep following his recent trip to London for medical check-up.

President Muhammadu Buhari

BBC Africa has made quite a spectacle of President Muhammadu Buharis medical trip to London, in an episode of Focus on Africas Residents Presidents.

The characters, Kibarkingmad and Olushambles, were heard in a dialogue making a mockery of the president's visit to London to check his ear.

According to the audio clip, Buhari had promised to end what was termed as 'medical tourism', when he assumed his role as the leader of the country.

Kibarkingmad and Olushambles were of the belief that African should make conscious efforts to improve its medical institution, so that such visits will no longer occur.

Recently, an unknown lady reportedly said a prayer asking God to kill any Nigerian politician who goes abroad to seek medical attention.

This coincided with the period when Buhari embarked on his London medical trip.
