EXCLUSIVE: CBN gov, undergoes secret medical surgery in France, returned yesterday

CBN Governor Returns Secretly From Surgery in France

LEGISREPORTS NG – The Central Bank Governor of Nigeria, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, arrived Nigeria yesterday from a medical trip in France.

The Governor was said to have undergone a surgery related to appendicitis in the French capital,Paris. He came aboard an Air France Boeing at exactly 4:10pm yesterday and was accompanied by his wife Princess Sadiya Ado Bayero and other close family members.

LEGISREPORTS learned that his arrival was not made public, close family, friends and high level CBN delegation were at hand to receive him at the Nmadi Azikiwe International Airport. Sources close to the Governor said he shook hands with everyone that welcomed him which suggests that he is recovering rapidly from the surgery.

However his medical trip was not officially communicated to the Nigerian public by the CBN, calls made by LEGISREPORTS to the PR department of the CBN to confirm if the Governor will be proceeding on sick leave to better recuperate were unanswered.

Details given as they emerge

Jarus: The CBN governor is not the president or a state governor. He doesn't have to announce to the whole world he is going on medical leave, moreso when it's just for a few days.

In any case, if he wanted to hide it, he would not have allowed a picture of him in hospital taken. There is one on the internet where he was seeing off Kano state governor who visited him in the hospital.

At the risk of committing name-dropping, I am also aware as he told me he was on medical leave abroad, without asking, when I contacted him for something else last week. I don't think he has anything to hide about going on medical leave.

Visiting hospital abroad? Now that is debatable. But I don't think the CBN governor is the right person to get Nigerian hospitals functioning well.

eGuerrilla: Is there any Nigerian public official who does not travel abroad for routine medical procedures?

obicentlis: That's his personal life naw!!!

Tinyemeka: Chai. Where is Yuzedo when you need him?

Travelling to France for an appendectomy... Hmmm... France to my knowledge, is a holiday spot. That's all I wish to say.

Gboliwe: Ordinary appendicitis, he travelled out. Tells so much how he values his life. The life of others nko? SMH.
God will judge all these elites, 'big men', politicians and so on.
