As a former vice president, Dr. Alex Ekwueme is entitled to free medical treatment abroad paid for by the Federal government. Why Buhari and his aides are making so much noise about Dr. Ekwueme's entitlement being accorded him beats me.

It is in the constitution. So buhari should stop acting like he is doing SE a favor by treating their revered leader and former VP whose government he personally overthrew in a coup d'etat.
Foooolish buhari

It's part of the man's entitlement as a former VP. It's law. Besides it's not a favour. And the expenses is being borne by the taxpayer.

So you guys now understand that this is an entitlement for a former Vice President.

But you were all over internet crying waste of TAX payer's money when Buhari as a sitting President went for treatment outside the country.

Can you now see how deluded you are?

It was obvious as soon as the president made what to him must have sounded like the 'most wonderful thing in the world any president could have offered to Ekwueme',that Buhari was going to embarass whatever level of education he might have received,and his presidential office.
Those praising him for this present folly onEkwueme only following Buhari's footprints,a president so ignorant of the law and constitution that it has become comical.Yet his as s lickers praise him for his embarassing ignorance,contempt of the law/courts and impeachable breaches of the constitution
The one that beat the cake was his comically embarassing sacking of Maina from his directorship position in the civil service,after his corrupt reinstatement.
Buhari left Malami and Dambazzau who are the only culprits the constitution grants him power to sack,being his political appointees,and went ahead to sack Maina,who he has no say whatsover on sacking and who can only be removed from office by a process governed by the laws of the federal civil Service,by the office of the HOSF!
That was the height of foo lery displayed by a president of Nigeria!!

Welcome to Nigeria,
A country where the government serves those who are in power and neglects those who are supposed to be cared for. In short, no law/constitution works accordingly in my country.

Medical bills of all past heads of state including presidents and vice president have always been handled by the federal government. Why Buhari's aides chose to make noise about this one is what I do not understand. Buhari himself has been treated abroad severally at the expense of the FG before he came back to power.
