The Spokesperson to the President, Mallam Garba Shehu has said that President Muhammadu Buhari spent 'only' about twenty million naira as medical expenses for his ear treatment.

Shehu in a post on his Facebook page which he titled "In Response to Prof. Farooq Kperogi"

Reads "The disclosure on Prof. Farooq Kperogi's wall that President Muhammadu Buhari's ear treatment in the United Kingdom cost a whopping six million pounds must have shocked many of the respected scholar's followers.

The story reads like an incredible tale by moonlight that belongs to a different era, which fortunately is now history. That's when a fortunate lady saved USD15 million for medical treatment!

But was it possible that the account of this balanced journalism teacher was hacked?

I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

Given the austere president we have, Muhammadu Buhari would not have approved this amount if he was shown a six million Pounds bill. I won't be surprised if the President may have asked if the fat bill was for the purchase of a brand new pair of ears!

I'm prepared to share documents with Farooq, one of the brightest ever produced from the Bayero University Kano (BUK) that the whole treatment, including a follow-up visit by a specialist to Nigeria didn't cost 50,000 pounds.

For the records, the administration advanced a higher sum, but the President's doctor returned the balance to the treasury.
Indeed, it's a New Day, and President Buhari's change mantra is real. Let no one confuse my fellow countrymen and women."

Dr. Farooq Kperogi reacting to Garba's post wrote "Malam Garba Shehu was my teacher. In fact, as I wrote in one of my columns, he is one of the best teachers I've ever had in my entire life.

Ironically, he taught me most of the things I know today, including speaking truth to power and holding government accountable to the people through journalism. 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. It's hard to believe that the presidency is only just now learning about the allegation after I brought it up in my column and status update. Well, here is it, my esteemed former teacher."

and you call 20m only,


even at that baba still no dey hear.

what a waste of money

His ancestors were included for the ear treatment. Plenty ears for the specialist to treat, that amount is small.

20milla for ear treatment! Naija don suffer

Government full of deception

God please, deliver Your children from fraud, scam and evil called Buhari

PMB should truly look inside and accept that change must start from him.
Stepping down from office should be the right step to start with....

ajasbaba:
and you call 20m only,


even at that baba still no dey hear.

what a waste of money

Compared to $20M it is 'only' oh. That's 400 times more than Buhari for an unelected person. There is God indeed.

test

Lmao... we don suffer... "20m only".

he say only N20M for for common ear, how much for kidney?

Person wey dey suppose slap consistently and the ear infection will disappear.

Though still relatively high for my liking am sure if it was GEJ the money spent wud ve been 2b.

20m Naira.

This govt is a joke!

At that time, the Presidential Spokesman, Femi Adesina, said PMB was treated here in Nigeria and was only going for further "checkup" or "evaluation" and rest.

The truth before us is: PMB actually spent 20M NGN for just "check-up'' or "evaluation".

Yet 'they' will come and tell me that PMB is frugal and a man of integrity.

Abegi

Even after spending 20million he still can't hear well..
Even though we all know it's more than 20million
