Former presidential spokesman Femi Adesina has remarked that ex-President Muhammadu Buhari might not have survived if he had depended solely on Nigeria’s healthcare system. Buhari passed away in London around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 13, after a brief illness. Speaking on Channels Television on Tuesday, Adesina noted that critics questioning why Buhari died in a London hospital should remember that the former president had been receiving medical treatment in the UK even before his 2015 election. His words: “He always had his medicals in London even when he was not in office, so it was not about the time he was president alone. “And then you have to be alive first to get certain things changed or corrected in your country. If he had said, ‘I’ll do my medicals in Nigeria just as a showoff,’ he could have long been dead because there may not be the expertise needed in the country. “But he needed to be alive to be able to lead the country to a point where we would have the expertise. So, those who talk of going abroad, they don’t know that a man needs to be alive first before he can effect a change.”
