Buhari’s Medical Trip, An Indictment Of His Administration – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as a direct Indictment of the presidency, the routine overseas medical checkup embarked upon by President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to the opposition party the trip leaves to bare the current administration’s failure to fix the country’s healthcare system, which it wrecked.

“It is indeed worrisome that under President Buhari, even the hitherto highly rated State House Clinic, has become so moribund that it cannot provide a simple medical checkup service for Mr. President,” a communique released by the party on Tuesday said.

The PDP says while it has nothing against where any person, including President Buhari, seeks his or her medical services, the party is worried that the Buhari Presidency is taking no decisive steps to fix our health care system, ostensibly because the president can afford overseas medical treatment at tax payers’ expense.

The party says it is disturbed that while the President jets out for medical treatment in well-equipped hospitals abroad, the nation’s hospitals and medical personnel are in a very sorry situation, adding that there are millions of compatriots suffering, with many dying on daily basis from conditions that have simple medical solutions.

It also stated that it is indeed heartrending that Nigerians are suffering this huge misfortune of having this highly insensitive, incompetent, and corrupt leadership of very selfish individuals who do not care about the welfare of other citizens.

“More saddening is that all the institutions, policies and programmes established by the PDP, which hitherto ensured access to affordable healthcare for Nigerians have been wrecked by the Buhari administration.

“Our party urges President Buhari to show leadership by reflecting on the fact that millions of Nigerians cannot afford overseas treatment and have become despondent by his failure to take decisive steps to address our national healthcare needs,” the communique partly read.

The opposition party further said that President Buhari must know that his duty as the nation’s leader is not only for his personal needs but more importantly for the needs of the generality of Nigerians.
