Breaking News:“Buhari Could Have Long Been Dead If He Had Chosen Treatment in Nigeria” — Femi Adesina

–Lagos Reporters

Former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to late President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Femi Adesina, has said the former Nigerian leader might not have survived if he had insisted on receiving medical treatment within the country.

Speaking on Channels Television on Monday morning, Adesina defended Buhari’s decision to consistently seek medical care abroad, particularly in London, both before and during his presidency.

“Buhari always had his medical in London, even when he was not in office. So, it's not about the time he was president alone,” Adesina noted.

He stressed that Buhari’s decision to stick with foreign medical treatment was based on survival, not pride or preference.

“You have to be alive first to get certain things corrected in your country. If he had said, 'I will do my medical in Nigeria just as a show-off or something,' he could have long been dead because there may not be the expertise needed in the country,” Adesina said.

The statement has reignited national debate over the state of Nigeria’s healthcare system and the repeated failure of successive governments to invest adequately in local medical infrastructure.

As tributes continue to pour in for the late president, Adesina’s remarks offer a deeper insight into the health struggles Buhari faced behind the scenes and the realities of a broken system he led for eight years.

TRIBUTE:

WE WILL ALL BE LESS WITHOUT BUHARI.

By Mallam Garba Shehu

Muhammadu Buhari was the rarest of individuals to grace political life anywhere in the world: an incorruptible servant of the people. He was not motivated by pride, or by riches - the accumulation of which repelled him. He was drawn to public service, discipline, and patriotism, and the unity of Nigeria as a one nation and one idea.

In his long service, first in the military he campaigned to keep Nigeria as a single country, and later briefly holding the position of head of state, he fought to tackle rampant corruption.

Later, as a converted democrat after the return of elections in 1999 he campaigned relentlessly to liberate Nigeria from becoming what he feared would be an elected, but corrupted, one-party state. Without Buhari’s refusal to back down, the disparate democratic opposition may never have united, and there would be no true multi-party system in Nigeria today.

Once that unity was achieved, Buhari – who else? – was chosen as the opposition’s flagbearer. In 2015 he became the first candidate to win election over an incumbent, for Nigeria the first-time power changed hands peacefully between the victor and vanquished.

His two terms in elected office coincided with worldwide economic challenges, and the threat from terrorism in the Sahel. He tackled both, creating new and welcome welfare programmes, and decisively breaking the power of Boko Haram.

Facing down accusations of favouring the north, he created ranches for northern herders to protect the livelihoods of southern farmers, saving lives and fostering better relations.
A deeply religious man, he was the opposite of partisan – enlisting a southern pastor as his two-time running-mate and regularly writing about Christianity and its relations with his own Muslim faith.

After assuming office, he struck up a lasting friendship with the Archbishop of Canterbury, with tolerance and modesty as well as religious fervor being attributes they shared.

After retiring from office, he returned to his farm and tended to his cattle, staying scrupulously out of the public eye and away from politics – always and intentionally refusing to comment. It was more important for this modest man to give a wide berth to his successor than to express any opinion, believing intervention in political affairs by ex-leaders was rarely merited, and more often a sign of a vanity he would never personally countenance.

Muhammadu Buhari led a life full enough for many men. He will be remembered best by his own words: “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody”. He was the best of Nigeria, and we are all less without him.

BREAKING: Give Us a Break, We can't Fix this country in Two Years — Tinubu Govt. Responds to IMF Criticism

In a strong reply to the mounting pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) regarding Nigeria’s sluggish economic recovery, the Tinubu administration has stated: “We need more time. We can’t repair what past administration damaged in two years.”

This statement comes as Nigerians continue to face: Skyrocketing food prices, unreliable power supply, increasing unemployment
Deteriorating infrastructure,failing health and education systems.

However, critics are raising important questions: “If you can’t fix it, why promise miracles?”, “What has the ₦4 trillion saved from subsidies actually achieved?”

“Why invest billions in presidential jets while hospitals are short on supplies?”, the public is demanding results, not just excuses.

BREAKING?
One down, many to go.

I remember when Abacha died, there was dancing in the streets. Anytime a tyrant dies, there is always jubilation; people are that their tormentor, who almost looked invincible, has kpaied.

Some of the ruiners of Nigeria run to foreign lands to die.

Not in the hospitals they left to rot. Not among the people they claimed to serve. But in the comfort of a foreign land far from the chaos they created.

You see life? It has receipts.

This is how they will be leaving, one by one.
The wicked, the heartless, and the greedy who sold a nation and thought they’d escape judgment.

Let them fly to London, but you can’t fly from truth.

Let this be a warning to the rest of them:
The people may be quiet, but karma is not sleeping.

We, the citizens of Nigeria, have the last word.
AreaFada.
