- Nigerian Presidency has revealed why President Muhammadu Buhari sought medical treatment abroad

- The Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina said the president did not promise that he would not seek treatment abroad - Adesina, however, blamed the poor state of health in the country on the past administrations

The Nigerian Presidency has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari never made a promise to Nigerians in 2015 that he would not seek medical treatment abroad if elected.

President Buhari’s special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, on Thursday, November 2, disclosed this while appearing as a guest on Focus Nigeria, a programme on Africa Independent Television (AIT).

NAIJ.com gathered that the spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bolaji Abdullahi, who appeared alongside Adesina, also said the much talked about promise the president allegedly made was false.

I was the deputy director of the policy directorate of the campaign; I was there from the beginning to the end.” “So many people came to join the group, some from even outside the country. One day, we were in a meeting, then one gentleman who heads one of the international NGOs in the country brought this list of 100 items that he was proposing that we should push out as the promise of Mr. President to Nigerians.

We circulated and asked everyone to study it and come back the following day so that we look at which ones we can own and which ones we need to reject. “I remember that number 1 on that list was to make the President say that ‘When I become President, I will not travel abroad for medical treatment’.

And I remember we rejected that immediately, because we said we didn’t know what this man was dealing with; we didn’t know who his doctors had been, how could we say this for him? “But you know what happened? One of us in the group just released the document.” Adesina backed Abdullahi’s claim, confirming that the president was never aware of any such promise, let alone agree to it.

He said I can confirm that even the President himself, who was a candidate then, was not aware. The very week I resumed this assignment, I raised some things with the President. I said, this and this and this were promised, and the President said ‘When did I promise these things?’ “I said there is a document titled ‘100 things Buhari will do in 100 days’. He never knew about that document.

He had to ask people to fetch that document for him, and it was the first time he was seeing it. “So there were promises that people made during the campaign on his behalf.” Adesina went further to blame the past administrations of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the poor state of healthcare in the country. He said the situation was a major reason for the president’s medical trips abroad. He said:

There was a time we could have afforded it, but the money was not properly spent. That’s why the President keeps lamenting that for a certain number of years consistently, oil prices stood at $100 per barrel, going as high as $120 per barrel at a time, and we were producing about 2.1 million barrels daily.


Then when he (Buhari) came, oil prices plunged to $37 per barrel, so he called the Central Bank Governor and said, ‘Do we have savings?’ and the Governor said ‘No savings.’ “The question is, ‘What did they do with that money? Why didn’t they fix our hospitals in all those years that we had boom?’ “And you know that since 2015, things have been down and they are just looking up now. As things look up, if they ever ever get back to where we were, if we ever get back to $100 per barrel for oil under the Buhari administration, it’s doubtful.

But if we ever get there, you can be sure that a lot will get done, because this is a prudent administration and the money of Nigerians will be used to serve Nigerians.” It was reported that the president has made two trips to London this year alone to seek treatment for an undisclosed illness. His most notable trip gulped 103 days, a medical vacation that caused public discontent resulting in many calling for his resignation from office.

In One Word; My President Is Just Clueless.

Shey I talk say these people don see Nigerians finish.


Femi more and more is beginning to seem like Squealer in Animal Farm.


For those who haven't read that classic, Squealer was the 'propaganda minister' under Napoleon's regime, and his lies got so blatant that he even forced the animals to 'remember' incidents that didn't even happen, just like telling them that Napoleon was the hero of the Battle of the Cowshed, when in fact it was Snowball.


I rest my case.

We have entered one chance.
Deacon femi, stop lying. Even the man you are lying for isn't denying it

The unaware president.

Has he ever accepted to be aware of happenings in his government

Nigerians shouldn't be surprised the day Buboo tell us he's not aware there are 36 states in Nigeria and that his wife's name is Aisha.

Irresponsibility at its peak.

Femi Adesina, why the lies? Nigerians are not so foolish as you think.

Śeriously some people are employed and paid to look and sound stupid on behalf of their Oga..

Femi Adeshina is a prime example...

Tell us one thing he promised to do sir


You have denied everything in our very eyes

"He said I can confirm that even the President himself, who was a candidate then, was not aware"

'Adesina backed Abdullahi’s claim, confirming that the president was never aware of any such promise..."



BUHARI AND UNAWARENESS are like.......(please help with that Jacob Zuma pic)

He should keep on being unaware till 2019 when Nigerians will be unaware of him!
