EKO HOT BLOG reports that a media aide to former military president Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB), Alhaji Mahmud Abdullahi says there is no cause for alarm over the former Nigerian leader’s heath.
He spoke against the background of the former President’s journey out of the country for medical reasons amidst reports of challenges to his health.
However, Abdullahi stated that there is no cause for concern as IBB’s trip is just for a routine medical check-up.
Speaking to journalists in Minna, Niger State, the close aide, who is also a family confidant, said though he didn’t have a discussion with the former President before his journey, IBB’s trip to Germany on Saturday does not call for concern.
He said: “I did not discuss with Oga before he left Nigeria, where he had travelled to and why.
“I know he is due for a medical checkup because recently he has not gone for it.
“Therefore I believe that he travelled to Germany on Saturday for the medical check-up.”
He, however, failed to give more details about the trip as, according to him, he didn’t discuss it with his boss before he travelled out of the country.
