Presidentialaide, Lauretta Onochie, has said the right of the President Muhammadu Buhari, to see hispersonal doctors cannot be taken away.
Thisis as criticisms continue to trail the President’s decision to have a medicalcheck-up in London.
Thecriticisms have led to a series of protests at the Abuja House in London wherethe President is lodged.
Afresh protest organised by Revolution Now convener, Omoyele Sowore, has beenscheduled for today in London to force Buhari to go have his medical check-up in Nigeriawhere doctors are currently on strike.
Inan apparent reaction, Onochie disclosed that no amount of wailing can stopBuhari from embarking on medical trips which he has been doing for years.
Shetweeted, “Next year, Pres. @MBuhari will go for a routine check-up
“Wehave been here since 2016. It’s been the same wailing. So, the responsewill also be the same.
“Atleast, once a year, people across the world see their personal doctorsespecially one they have seen for about 40 years.
“@MBuhariwon’t dump his doctor of about 40 years so that wailers can be happy. That’sblackmail. Thankfully, he doesn’t pay blackmailers.
“In2016, I ran from one media house to the other, educating us on the psychologyof the bond between a patient & his/her long-standing doctor
“Hewent for #CheckUp in 2017, 2018, 2019 & in 2020, just before the pandemic.Same wailing and same explanations.
“Thefact remains that if @MBuhari chooses, he will go for check-ups in 2022& 2023. He will continue to go. It’s his choice to go or not to.
“Idon’t know any man who will accept a different barber to cut his hair if theone he is used to, is not available
“Wailingcan’t take away hisrights to see his personal doctors so wailers must get ready for two more years
of wailing and fooling around. God bless Nigeria.”
