The Presidency has on Tuesday cleared the air on the trip to London embarked upon by the president of the nation, Muhammadu Buhari.
Speculations had risen that the president was battling an infected ear and thus has shrouded his medical visit and treatment in London under the cloak of a vacation trip.
The presidency, while clearing the air on the President’s vacation trip noted that Muhammadu Buhari had in no way violated any rule in the treatment of his ear infection because he was treated in Nigeria by Nigerian experts.
Defending the president, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina said: “You can check the statement we issued on Sunday again. The President did not go to London for treatment.
“We made it clear in that statement that he had been treated in Nigeria here.
“The medical experts here only told him that since he will be in London, he can seize that opportunity for evaluation.
“The President has not broken any rule.”
The statement released by the Presidency on Sunday reads:
“President Buhari will take 10 days off and travel to London from Monday June 6th, to rest.
“During the holiday, the President will see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist for a persistent ear infection.
“The President was examined by his Personal Physician and an E.N.T Specialist in Abuja and was treated.
“Both Nigerian doctors recommended further evaluation purely as a precaution.
