EXCLUSIVE: Ailing Nigerian President, Buhari To Undergo Complicated Surgery To Remove Cancerous Tumour In UK HospitalMeanwhile, sources said even though the procedure will keep President Buhari away for at least two weeks, he refused to hand over to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
A Presidential source on Monday told SaharaReporters that Buhari is expected to undergo a complicated surgical procedure in the UK hospital to take out the tumour and some of the healthy tissues near it.“Our principal, President Buhari is to undergo a complicated surgical procedure in the UK. Meanwhile, the procedure is more complicated than being revealed by Femi Adesina and other presidential aides,” the presidential source said.
“President Muhammadu Buhari is scheduled to depart Abuja for Seoul, South Korea on a 5-day official visit to the Asian country,” a source had said. Adesina said, “President Buhari leaves for London October 31, 2022, for routine medical checkup. He returns to the country 2nd week of November, 2022.” The Nigerian government had proposed September 11 and 12, 2022 for Buhari to visit the country but the Emir in a note verbale exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters said the dates were not suitable for him and asked for other dates in 2023.
However, a presidential source blamed the State Chief of Protocol , Amb. Lawal Kazaure and his team for the rejection. Buhari, despite announcing several cost-cutting measures as a way of reducing the cost of governance is known for junketing across the world and medical tourism, amid an abysmal state of healthcare in Nigeria and even when doctors are on strike.
In March, the President visited Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, where he participated in the 50th anniversary of the UN Environmental Programme before returning to Abuja, and later jetted out to London, the United Kingdom, for a medical trip that lasted for about two weeks.
