[Video] I’ve No Idea Who’s Footing Buhari’s Medical Bill In London – Femi Adesina

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina has said he doesn’t know if his principal’s medical bill in London is being footed by the Federal Government or not.

Mr Adesina said this on Monday while appearing as a guest on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’.

Seun Okinbaloye of Channels TV had asked, “Who is paying for the president’s treatment?”

But Adesina responded, saying, “Does it matter at this point?”

Okinbaloye insisted, saying, “We need to know, he is our president. He is a public official. This shouldn’t be shrouded in secrecy.”

Adesina responded: “I do not know who is paying, but as a president, he has a right to be treated by the country.”

The presidential aide said, “Nigeria is taking care of the bill?” Okinbaloye asked, and Adesina responded, “Most likely. I do not know for sure.”

Speaking further on the Lai Mohammed-led media team to London to visit Buhari, Adesina said, “The president I saw was sharp, he was smart, he was lucid. The president I saw was almost completely mending,” Adesina said.

“But like I said in the statement we issued, he will come when his doctors say ‘it’s time to go home’.

“Once the doctors certify him, he will surely come back… If you know the president, at the peak of his performance when he just assumed the presidency and went to different parts of the world, you will know that he is a man of tremendous energy and tremendous ability.

“If a man was heal and he has mended, that means he can do what he used to and even more.”

President Buhari, it would be recalled, had departed Nigeria for the United Kingdom since May 7 for medical consultations.
