Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has given reasons President Muhammadu Buhari is still keeping dates with his UK doctors.
Buhari tavelled to London, UK, on Tuesday for what the Presidency called a routine medical check-up.
The trip has sparked much controversy, with many condemning it, describing it medical tourism.
But speaking on the matter in a programme on ‘Channels Television’, Shehu said Buhari had to be in London because of the long history of relating with the doctors.
He said,
“If someone has kept retainership with medical experts, you are talking about 30 years and plus to examine you and they give you a pass. Would you be changing your doctors every other year because there is a chance that the distance will be shortened? No. I think that the President is wise and quite correct in his decision that he retains some set of doctors who have insured good health for himself.”
