Nigeria
is fast becoming a laughing stock in the international community with
international media bodies like the CNN, New York Times reporting about
Buhari's medical tourism.
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari is under pressure to disclose
the state of his health after he embarked on a fourth medical trip to
London.
Nigeria's opposition party, People's Democractic Party (PDP), said
it was time for the president to reveal his medical condition.
PDP spokesman Kola Ologbodiyan said: "We need full disclosure
about the president's health. He needs to be honest with Nigerians to
say he his unwell. He can't travel for an official meeting to the US and
sneak into London to see his doctor, then tell Nigerians it was a
technical stopover due to flight issues."
Buhari,75, announced Monday he will travel to the United Kingdom to
see his doctor, reigniting speculation about the state of his health
and ability to rule Africa's biggest economy.
The president also saw his doctor last week in London on his way
back from Washington where he had met with the US President Donald Trump
at the White House, his aide said.
Nigerians on social media have also joined in the call for Buhari
to make his health records public. These calls have grown louder since
he announced plans to seek re-election next year.
