Nigerian hospitals not good enough for Buhari, would have died long ago, says ex-aide Adesina

A former presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, has said that his former principal, Muhammadu Buhari, could have long died if he had used Nigerian hospitals.

Adesina, who was a guest during Channels Television‘s special coverage for Buhari’s funeral on Tuesday, said those who criticised the death of Buhari in a London hospital should understand that the former president had always used London hospitals before he was elected president in May 2015.

The former editor said the UK doctors were already familiar with Buhari’s medical history and there was no need to change them.Adesina said some Nigerian hospitals lack the facilities and expertise needed for the ex-president’s treatment.
