Buhari will still travel for routine medical checkup – Presidency replies critics

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has declared that the president will still go for his routine London medical checkup in 2022 and 2023 not minding the amount of criticisms.

Onochie made the remark in a tweet she shared via her Twitter handle, she said Buhari has seen his personal doctor since 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and would do same next year if he decides.

The presidential aide stated this in a statement titled: “Next Year, President Buhari will go for a routine check-up.

“We have been here since 2016. Its been the same wailing. So the response will also be the same. At least, once a year, People across the world see their personal Doctors especially one they have seen for about 40 years.

“@MBuhari won’t dump his doctor of about 40 years so that wailers can be happy. Thats blackmail. Thankfully, he doesn’t pay blackmailers. In 2016, I ran from one media house to the other, educating us on d psychology of d bond between a patient & his/her long-standing doctor.

“He went for #CheckUp in 2017, 2018, 2019 & in 2020, just before the pandemic. Same wailing and same explanations. The fact remains that if @MBuhari chooses, he will go for checkups in 2022 and 2023. He will go in 2014. He will continue to go. Its his choice to go or not to.

“I don’t know any man who will accept a different barber to cut his hair if the one he is used to, is not available. Wailing cant take away his rights to see his personal doctors so wailers must get ready for two more years of wailing and fooling around, she wrote
