The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole has said that President Buhari could not be treated in Nigeria because of the bond he has with his doctors abroad.
The minister also called on Nigerians to pray for Buhari and not to make wrong insinuations about his health.
Adewole
also said that there is no cause for alarm, adding that Nigerians
should respect Buhari’s choice to go abroad for treatment.
According to Daily Post, he said “One
thing we must realise is that health is a complex issue. There’s what
we call patient-doctor relationship; there is also a bond between the
patient and the doctor and these are things we can’t play with.
“I
used to have patients in Ibadan and they still call me, and say ‘we
will like to see you’. Then I have to say no to them because I’m no
longer available and ask, ‘why can’t you see somebody else?’ But many of
them are reluctant to do so. That’s the complex thing about health.
“We should give him (Buhari) that choice. What we really wish is for Mr. President to be well and hearty.
“However,
this is also a complex country, so I am not too happy about some of the
insinuations, because we should pray for our leaders. We should
continue to pray for him. There is no cause for alarm.
“He
(Buhari) came back (referring to the previous medical vacation) and
told us that he was ill and that he was treated. When we have that type
of leader, I think we can go to sleep.”
Recently, there have been several unconfirmed reports saying that President Buhari is dead.
