Buhari in London: He doesn’t need to transmit letter to NASS —Presidency

Adesina says no cause to worry over president’s health




ABUJA—THE Presidency, yesterday said that President Muhammadu Buhari who is on a four-day trip to the United Kingdom, where he will see his doctors did not need to transmit a letter to the Senate and the House of Representatives before embarking on such a trip.



This came as Femi Adesina, spokesman of President Buhari, yesterday, said there was no cause to worry over Buhari’s health condition.



Speaking with Vanguard , the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang said President Buhari was still on duty, but only going for medical attention.



Enang said, “Mr. President is still on duty and he is going for medical attention.”



Asked whether it was not pertinent and compulsory for Buhari to have an executive communication with the National Assembly, Enang said, “ Mr. President does not need to transmit a letter , he is on duty, but gone for medical attention.”



Efforts to speak with the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Sabi Abdullahi(APC, Niger North) on the matter proved abortive.



In the same vein, Mr Femi Adesina, spokesman of President Buhari, yesterday, said his principal’s trip to London was “just for a review” of his health.



Speaking on a Channels TV programme, Adesina said there was no cause to worry over Buhari’s health condition.




“The fact that a man is a president does not remove his right and privileges to privacy. So, unless Mr President comes out voluntarily and willingly to tell the country that ‘this is what I have suffered from, this is what I have been treated for,’ even the medical doctor does not have the right to say it.



“It is in the hippocratic oath that the medical doctors take. They cannot disclose the ailment of the patient without the permission of that patient.”



He added that the president was “up and about and doing his duties” and that “what he is going for is a review.
“We all need that from time to time. There is nobody that is 100 per cent healthy. He is just going for a review. I want to believe that he will come back on Saturday as planned,” he said.

less than 10 months ago, it was an 'achievement' when pmb handed over to the VP before travelling...


now, it doesn't matter. the goal post has been shifted...

I **** Buhari

I think it High time people here on NL start taking SR serious. About few weeks ago he reported that Buhari will travel to London for check up and a lot of people here were doubting. Can you now see for yourself?

See what Tinubu and his cohorts caused....

Buhari is a disaster to this country.

It will not be well with you and your generation unborn.

Dear lord please save us, we're begging

Everyone is now feeling this insensitive government,I stopped taking this government serious along time ago,because its difficult for them to differentiate their right from left,always lieing,always confused,always shifting blames. They don't want to be blamed for anything and they believe we don't know they are deceiving themselves.Bad leadership is this a good example,the day of good leadership has long gone,hope such a period returns again.


Bring in your goods from USA and China to Nigeria cheaper and faster

Very soon he would find himself in Daura!!.. And wishing him speedy recovery to Daura

Deadbody no dey write letter.

Jibrin reloading for campaigns

Enang, am really disappointed with you on this

Just Negodu

Tell him to retire in 2019 he is too old to lead this country till 2023.so that his respect will remain for than being disgraced in 2019

This is just to cage the vp

Why are we crying over spoiled milk, everything done bad finished, just that Nigerians are patiently waiting for when they will leave the country for us

Someone who can't use his position as President to make the healthcare in his own country good enough for himself is not worthy to be our President again.

Buhari reminds me of my former neighbor who wouldn't use his toilet at home because it didn't flush well, but will go outside to pay to use a mobile public latrine.

#BackToDaura.

Why is this Buhari like this? You went to US, on your way back, you stopped over in UK. You didn't deem it fit to see your doctor. You returned to Nigeria after spending a lot of money on yourself, your wife, and your officials. Less than a week you are flying out again back to the same UK you stopped over last week. Now another expenses upon the claimed dilapidated resources. And some zombies will still praise him and call him Mr integrity. I see a man that's a legal thief. Using his office to gather wealth for himself and his family. It's a pity.

As per autocratic leader

Mtchewwwwww

Reminds me of the nursery school rhyme


Pussy cat(buhari) x2 where are you going?

London for what?
-London for medicine
Medicine for what?
-Medicine for Cough
Are you coughing?
-Yes 9ja
Cough let me see you
