Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party has revealed why he may not rely entirely on Nigerian hospitals for personal healthcare if elected president come 2023.

Abubakar disclosed his reason at the ongoing dialogue airing on AriseTV.

He said:

Health facilities that cater to my health may not be available.

“We have limitations; we know we have those limitations.”

Abubakar was responding to a question about whether or not he would turn to the country’s medical establishments as president to set a clear leadership that deemphasises patronage of foreign hospitals by the country’s elite.

This, however, contradicted Peter Obi of the Labour Party’s statement regarding the country’s health care service.

Obi had a few days ago said he would use Nigerian doctors if elected president, adding that available facilities would be improved to meet global standards.

Nigerians have long condemned the elite rush to foreign countries for medical care, a pattern attributed to the neglect of the country’s health sector. President Muhammadu Buhari has continued to travel abroad, mainly to the United Kingdom, to see his doctors.

The president has flown to London every other month to receive first-rate treatment funded by Nigerian taxpayers.

Buhari, dismissed criticism of insensitivity from Nigerians, saying he has used UK doctors since the 1970s.
