[size=18pt]Farooq Kperogi Denies Accusing Buhari on "Ear Infection" Trip, Blames Vanguard[/size]

Popular Analyst and US-Based Educationist, Ass. Prof Farooq Kperogi has denied accusing the Federal Government of Spending Six Million Pounds during President Buhari's UK Health Trip this year. Reports from the Trip showed that the President had an ear infection.


Prof Kperogi who shared on his Facebook wall yesterday that the Presidency spend such amounts, has received a Reply from presidential spokesman Garba Shehu saying He is Disappointed at Him.
Meanwhile, Mr Kperogi has blamed Vanguard News for such allegations.

See Farooq's Reply Below:


"I didn't make up the allegation that Buhari spent 6 million pounds to treat his ear infection. It's been around since June. It was even reported in the Vanguard of June 9.

Now, I am the first to admit that Vanguard isn't always a reliable source of news (I have written at least two scathing articles on Vanguard), but it's also true that Vanguard is Nigeria's most visited online news source, outranked occasionally only by Punch, according to Alexa.


You ignore it at your own risk. The presidency must be aware of this allegation. Why haven't they denied it and set the records straight? Well, it's probably because they didn't or don't want to lend wings to an embarrassing revelation. If they were never aware of this allegation until I brought it up in my column and status update, then they are more clueless than I thought.

This man is the most stupid professor I have ever seen in my entire life. He is not different from the wailing crew on NL who goes about writing unreasonable stuffs without good reference/source once it is against the president.

He admitted that vanguard is not a credible source but still went ahead to write about a phantom $6million treatment bill with the same discredited vanguard as the source. And now, instead of giving a straight apology, he's still grandstanding and blaming the president for not denying the news in time. His motive becomes more curious when you realise that this is coming just a few days after the national outrage about patience Jonathan's $15million medical bill account. We really need to upgrade our libel laws. People should be made to face more stiffer sanctions when they write absolute falsehood to deliberately hurt other people.

Maybe you need to go and dig his past articles where he harshly criticised GEJ. This idea that anyone who challenges corruption is a wailer is childish. This is a university professor at KSU, Georgia, USA. He's also a northern Muslim.

This guy has earned his name long ago. He stood against GEJ when he missed it and supported PMB. Now that PMB has taken a number of wrong steps, he is standing against him. He is one of those who SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER! The fact that you supported a candidate does not take away you heart and brain that you cannot talk against whatever they are doing wrong. That is the reason why many reputable persons enter government and find it difficult to resign when the president or governor decided to take an anti-people route.
As for those whose preoccupation is to mock those who voted for a government so that they won't speak against what the government they voted for is doing wrong, it is as foolish and insane as saying because you LOVE and MARRIED your spouse, you should never speak against a wrong thing they do when they go wrong

Nobody is saying he should not criticise. All I am saying is, criticise with credible facts and figures. He knew all along that vanguard is not a credible source of news and still went ahead to criticise the president based on their false story. That is not a fair criticism if you ask me.

even apc Bible says so
9JA BIBLE on the trend(APC Chapter 1)

1. And it came to pass, when the Lord would punish Nigeria, that he gave them a president under whose hand they were mightily oppressed.
2. Before he ascended the throne, he made them hope, with all manner of promises, that he would bring them to the promised land before the coming year began.
3. Thus the inhabitants of Nigeria grew restless with their good condition, and sorely vexed the president under whose hand they had prospered, so that he would not have the office of the president again, but rather resented it.
4. In those days also the Boko haramites laid siege to the north, and slew of the people three and twenty thousand, intending to set up a kingdom which would be ruled by Islam.
5. Thus the inhabitants of Nigeria remembered not the good deeds of Jonathan, but thrust him out of the throne, and made Buhari president in his stead.
6. Buhari was seventy and(?) years old when he began to reign. He reigned one and a half years in Nigeria, and the land became impoverished under him.
7. He persecuted also a few of the people, accusing them and casting them into prison. Thus, the opposition was subdued, the people could not find bread to eat and there was hunger in the land.
8. And the end become uncertain as there was wailing and gnashing of teeth

If you feel the criticism is not fair then tell us the amount that was initially approved for the treatment.

And don't tell me it was less than £50000 because the president's spokesman admitted that a higher amount was released but the president's doctor returned the balance

If this administration believes in accountability then let them prove it with hard facts. We can't take their mere words anymore.

It was this same shehu that denied buhari never promised a-meal-a-day for pupils during the campaign few months ago
