Angry
Nigerians have bashed President Muhammadu Buhari for going against his
own decision not to allow public officials from travelling abroad for
medical treatment at the expense of taxpayers.
President Muhammadu Buhari
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has given
reasons why President Muhammadu Buhari refused to be treated in Nigerian
hospitals and decided to travel to the United Kingdom to seek medical
attention.
The Minister while speaking during a live radio programme titled,
‘Morning Crossfire’, on Nigeria Info Abuja 95.1FM, on Thursday said the
reason was because he wanted the best medical treatment.
Mohammed responded after an angry caller had criticised the All
Progressives Congress-led government for going back on its promise to
bar public officials from travelling abroad for medical treatment at the
expense of taxpayers.
In his reaction, however, Mohammed said, “My answer is very
simple. Mr President is our father, he is the leader of the nation and I
think he deserves the best in terms of medical treatment.”
Responding to another question on why the Buhari government was
flouting court orders regarding the release of some detained politically
exposed persons, Mohammed said, “If it is a court order and the order is not appealed, then you have flouted the order.
“But if the order is appealed, then it is not a final order.
Also, you have to balance national security with the rule of law. In the
case of Ifeanyi Ubah, I think it is neither here nor there.”
A caller commended the Federal Government for its achievements but lamented the high cost of food prices, especially rice.
Responding, the minister said, “The truth of the matter is that
in 2015, this government imported 580,000MT of rice. We cut it down to
58,000MT in 2016 and we have saved about $200m in the process.
“Yes, we understand the cost of rice is still high and we are
going to intervene through price fixing by subsidising the cost of
transportation.”
