Former presidential spokesman Femi Adesina has claimed that if former President Muhammadu Buhari had used Nigerian hospitals, he would have died long ago.
According to reports, Adesina said this in an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday.
Adesina added that anyone protesting Buhari’s death in a London hospital should remember that the former president had always utilized London hospitals before taking office in 2015.
According to Adesina, Nigerian hospitals lacked the resources and knowledge required for Buhari’s treatment, and the former President needed to be alive to affect change in the country.

He stated, “Buhari had always received his medicals in London, even while he was not in office. This is not the same as when he was president alone. Then you must be alive to get certain things corrected or modified in your country.
“If the president had opted to have his medicals in Nigeria, merely for a show, he could have died a long time ago because the country may not have the knowledge he requires. But he had to be alive to get the country to the point where we could have that competence. So many who talk about traveling overseas don’t realize that a man must be alive before he can influence change.”
