The tweet read, “Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha visited former Vice-President, Dr Alex Ekwueme in hospital in London, and conveyed President @MBuhari’s goodwill message. SGF pictured here with Mrs Helen Ekwueme”

The SGF’s visit comes after Ekwueme’s family members reportedly disclosed that the Federal Government reneged on its promise to foot the former Vice President’s overseas medical treatment.

Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, had previously said that the medical treatment approved by President Buhari for Ekwueme “covers the immediate charter of an air ambulance for the emergency movement and the cost of treatment.”
