Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole,
says President Muhammadu could not
be treated in Nigeria because of the
long existing bond between him and
his foreign doctors. He, however, assured Nigerians and the
international community that there
was no cause for concern over Buhari’s
health. “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,” Adewole told Thisday. “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”, he stated.
