* FEC wishes VP quick recovery

Deji Elumoyebi and Olawale Ajimotokan in Abuja

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo at the weekend insisted on using a Nigerian hospital and medical experts for the surgical operation to correct a fracture on his right femur despite the advice of his doctors for him to go abroad for the operation.

According to sources close to Duchess International Hospital in Ikeja, Lagos, where the operation took place on Saturday, some of the government and private practice doctors of the vice president made the suggestion because the going abroad option was often usually considered by such class of patients and at times the option could also seem more seamless.

But one of the doctors who coordinated the surgery, Dr. Yemi Onabowale, who is the founder of the Reddington Hospital, was quoted to have said “the VP was clear that he had confidence in Nigerian doctors both at home and abroad and would prefer they handle the operation.”

His preference to have the surgery done in Nigeria was also being regarded as a major boost for the government’s often stated objective of a reversed medical tourism as some voices in the healthcase sector have expressed excitement at the Vice President’s choice.

Osinbajo was also said to have argued that doing the operation in Nigeria would not only encourage Nigerian doctors who are among the best anywhere in the world, but it would also help develop the capacity here in Nigeria and further build on the medical infrastructure in the country.

Confirming the development, a senior presidency official who pleaded anonymity said it was true the vice president was given the option to go abroad but opted to do it here.

“The VP’s view is that most people don’t even know the facilities exists here. Besides we have some of the best doctors available anywhere,” the official disclosed.Meanwhile, the Federal Executive Council (FEC), has wished Osinbajo quick recovery following the successful operation possibly related to a long standing injury associated with the game of squash.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha, in a statement yesterday sent the goodwill to the vice president on behalf of Council.He expressed delight that the surgical operation, which was performed by a team of specialist doctors in Lagos, was reported to be successful.As Osinbajo recuperates from the surgical operation, FEC wished him quick recovery so as to continue to give the needed support for the overall growth and stability of the country.

Too much of this is not bad.
Let it continue, wasting our money all the time in the name of medical check-up abroad is bad and very bad.
If Osinbajo is doing it this once, let us shout it loud and clear!

Wish him quick recovery

VP Osinbajo has always been a good leader, and it is easy to say he is the best President we never had. Osinbajo is not your regular politician that always runs abroad for medical checks. I wish him a quick recovery.

Ok

That's the main reason why I like Osinbajo

The-cabals'-guile.

This is one of the reason why I like Osinbajo

We are so used to doing abnormal things in Nigeria that normal things are now celebrated in a big way.

The operation isn't life-threatening though.


But wait, what happened to the facility within the Aso Villa?

Buhari-Osinbajo government has so much lowered the bar that something like this now deserves commendation and to be bragging about.

Good for him

Una dn see the kind nonsense propaganda wey dey dis country..
Next thing go be “osinbajo refuse to take breakfast abroad”

Stupidity of the highest media order

That's how stars do...


"The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo at the weekend insisted on using a Nigerian hospital and medical experts for the surgical operation to correct a fracture on his right femur despite the advice of his doctors for him to go abroad for the operation."

That's not a simple surgery...for those who don't know...Femur is the longest and strongest bone in the body...the thigh bones.

It's actually a great self discipline to be at Prof. Osinbajo's position and agree to do such surgery in Nigeria (Not that our Drs are not good..No, just because of the will to afford such)

Good

The only person leading by example... God bless him for giving our doctors that confidence...

By the way, see my signature below

lol person break for Leg get treatment for Nigeria na achievement too...


This Govt dey confuse person oh I no dey understand derr own type of achievement....


Or dem go also add diz to dere 8years achievement....

He for go Igbobi hospital na shebi na Govt facility since he wan prove a point or add it to his achievement...

That's the kind of leader we need as a nation but APC as a party and coven of the outdated still thinks otherwise...




Osibanjo is OBIdient.

E be many things

Why?

There are capable hands to handle it here in the country

Is baba.
Osinbade my man.
If he has any integrity left, he should resign.
He is part of the failed system we see today, a kind of failure never seen b4.

Are you kidding me?

This is an achievement?

For a leg surgery in one of the most expensive private hospitals in Nigeria?

You think he would risk it if it was heart or brain surgery?
