Former lawmaker alleges that Buhari went to Germany for medical treatment

SECOND Republic lawmaker Hon Junaid Mohammed has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari recently went to Germany for medical treatment and not for bilateral talks as the government is claiming.

 

Yesterday, President Buhari returned to Abuja after a three day visit to Germany where he held a bilateral summit with Chancellor Angela Merkel. However, Hon Mohammed, a Russian-trained medical doctor, has alleged that the president’s handlers were making similar mistakes committed by those who served as close advisers to ex-President Umaru Yar’Adua.

 

According to Hon Mohammed, President Buhari was in Germany to receive treatment for an undisclosed ailment but his handlers arranged a state visit in an attempt to mask the truth. Also, the former lawmaker stated that those behind the cover-up did not love the president more than Nigerians who voted him into office.

 

Hon Mohammed said: “The reason the president travelled to Germany was not what it was advertised to be. The trip is basically a medical trip and it was undertaken for medical reasons.

 

"It was only converted to a state visit as an afterthought and that tells you the level of contempt the handlers of the president have for Nigerians. We blamed the handlers of Yar’Adua for the way they kept his ailment secret."

 

He added that now, Nigerians have a big surprise awaiting them as they have not been told the truth about the real state of President Buhari health. According to Hon Mohammed,  Nigerians elected President Buhari into office and must never allow individuals to play with their intelligence and do something stupid and dangerous to the country.

 

"I hope and pray that next time, the Nigerian people would be told the truth. It’s a medical trip but his handlers issued statements to camouflage the real reason behind the trip,” Hon Mohammed added.

 

He also accused those criticising Mrs Buhari of hypocrisy. He pointed out that although most of the people would not like to admit it, a good number of them including members of the All Progressives Congress who have been denied access to Buhari, had taken their case to her as a last resort.
