Daniel Bwala, the spokesman for former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar, criticised President Muhammadu Buhari and politician Bola Tinubu for being out of the country for medical reasons

With 17 days left to inauguration, Daniel Bwala, the spokesman for former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar, criticised President Muhammadu Buhari and politician Bola Tinubu for being out of the country for medical reasons.

In a tweet, Bwala alleged that Tinubu’s trip to Europe was for medical purposes rather than business, while Buhari extended his trip to the United Kingdom for dental care.

Tale of a country; two presidents. Substantive one and selected one: Both out of the country as of today on medicals. One calls his own dental care; the other calls his own official visit. Their medical needs can adequately be met in NIgeria’s hospitals, public or private. Sad

Bwala emphasised that both Buhari and Tinubu could receive adequate medical treatment in Nigeria and called for the establishment of a world-class health clinic in the country for government officials.

Unless we establish a world class health clinic in Nigeria, solely for those officials covered under section 308; the medical care of those officials paid for adequately by their respective governments, Nigerias national security would forever be under threat. No joke
