The ruling Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) Tuesday criticised a
leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Senator Bola
Tinubu, over the condolence
message he sent to the family of
a former Chief of General Staff
(CGS), Admiral Mike Akhigbe (rtd).
The PDP accused Tinubu for
casting aspersions, playing
politics with Akhigbe’s death and
using the condolence visit as an
opportunity to throw stones at the
federal government.
According to a statement by the
National Publicity Secretary of
PDP, Olisa Metuh, “While Tinubu
sought to lay blame by calling on
the federal government to heavily
invest in state-of-the-heart (sic)
medical facilities in local
hospitals, especially in the area of
diagnosis and detention (sic), so
that this disease can be detected
early and treated before it
becomes life-threatening.
“Bola Tinubu failed to note that
the federal government has
invested heavily in the health
sector and continues to do so.
Some of the investments the
federal government has made
include the establishment of
National Trauma Centres at the
University of Abuja and the
National Hospital also in Abuja.
The federal government also
established new National Cancer
Screening Centres nationwide,
including at the Federal Medical
Centre, Gusau in Zamfara,
University of Port Harcourt
Teaching Hospital and the
National Obstetric Fistula Centre in
Abakaliki.”
It emphasised that ”The PDP
administration of President
Goodluck Jonathan also
established 3,389 health centres
nationwide as first line primary
health provider where early
detection of various ailments can
be made. This is in addition to
modernising the Obafemi Awolowo
University Teaching Hospital and
the University of Benin Teaching
Hospital (UBTH) amongst others.”
Explaining further, the statement
added: “These investments in the
health sector have led to
outstanding feats of medical
surgeries in Nigeria where the
recently modernised hospitals
made history by successfully
carrying out the first stem cell
transplant in Nigeria in February
of 2012. This feat was followed by
the University College Hospital
Ibadan becoming the first Nigerian
hospital to perform an open heart
surgery in October of 2013.
“But we may also like to ask what
Bola Tinubu did for the health
sector while he was governor of
Lagos State? Lagosians are still
heavily reliant on federal
government health facilities such
as the Lagos University Teaching
Hospital and the National
Orthopedic Hospital, Igbobi among
others. Did Bola Tinubu do what
he is now advising the federal
government to do while he held
power?"
Consequently, the statement
challenged the former governor to
state how much he spent on his
last birthday.
“In fact, we would like to ask
Tinubu how much was spent on
his last birthday party. Various
media reports indicate that at
least N1bilion was squandered on
Tinubu’s 60th birthday which
lasted for a week and almost shut
down the state of Lagos. Bola
Tinubu has not denied these
reports most likely because they
are true. N1billion is enough to
set up a cancer treatment hospital,
but did Tinubu do so?, the PDP
added.

how many did tinubu build in Lagos with all the money he steal or his boy fashola

This criminal Tinubu that plays politics with everything.
Meanwhile, the man was one of the worst governors at his time.

Tinubu is politicizing evryting. This is the height of desperation. Now he has been exposed. Poor Tinubu

The same Tinubu who couldn't erect even a sick bay to cure his knee injury after 8 years. A real progressive.

.

what is wrong with all this gang star ibo with cancer brain. Can they compare tinubu achievement with any governor that rule btw 1999-2007 in nigeria.tinubu phobia is eaten up this monster.bad rubbish.

I am amazed by the level of stupidity both Tinubu and Metuh are willing to put on public display. How many of such hospitals did Tinubu build in Lagos during his time as the executive Governor? Metuh listed achievements of Jonathan's administration in the health sector, but do they(Jonathan and other PDP top shots) patronize these hospitals? Jonathan, Tinubu, Metuh and other thieving political elites are quick to board the next flight out of the country for mere medical check-up, because they know our hospitals are not delivering praise worthy or high quality health care services. So who are they fo0ling?


* Lagos State owned, LASUTH is far better and more equipped(Nigerian standard) than 80% of Federal Government owned hospitals, and it is the best state owned hospital in Nigeria. Isolo, Apapa, Badagry and Lagos General Hospitals attend to more patients than many Federal Government owned tertiary hospitals.
