Some Nigerians reacted on Twitter, stating their opinion and mindset...

See comments below:

@Fayotomotyfe “Ha! But who did we offend in this country though? We have enough doctors but their president spent a good part of his term outside Nigeria receiving medical treatment. I don tire. God save us really.”

@Babalolaadekun1 “Are these the best we have to lead us? To think of it, it took Pa Buhari months to scout for this fellow?

@Ummita71 “Doctors are free to leave Nigeria b/c the likes of Ngige have stolen more than enough to fund their medical tourism when the need arises. Until this shenanigan of political officers travelling out for treatment is stopped, we will keep hearing arrogant and stupid talks like this.”

iamperfkt “This is a clear case of where common sense isn’t common .it isn’t about doctors leaving Nigeria but our best hands. Developed countries keep theirs, we lose ours. And the irony is that you people get treated abroad by our best hands while the poor suffer here.”

@Kingso_Lala “Please Nigerian doctors don’t listen to him. We are the ones that will suffer it. You know they don’t even use our hospitals, that’s what motivates them to make such comments. Please stay for us!
