The Spokesperson to the President, Mallam Garba Shehu has said that President Muhammadu Buhari spent 'only' about twenty million naira as medicalexpenses 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 incredibletale by moonlight that belongs to a different era, which fortunatelyis 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 highersum, but the President's doctor returned the balance to the treasury.Indeed, it's a New Day, and President Buhari's change mantrais 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 waseven reported in the Vanguard ofJune 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 alsotrue 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."

I hope this is a joke
