Hypocrisy Unveiled: Femi Adesina's Comments on Buhari's Health Raise Eyebrows

Femi Adesina, former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has made a statement that has sparked widespread criticism. According to Adesina, Buhari might not have survived his health challenges if he had relied solely on Nigerian hospitals for treatment.



Adesina highlighted the limitations of some Nigerian hospitals, noting that they lack advanced equipment and expertise needed to effectively treat certain health conditions. He emphasized that British doctors were familiar with Buhari's medical history, which made it reasonable for him to receive treatment in the UK.

However, critics argue that Adesina's comments are hypocritical, given his role in Buhari's administration. During Buhari's presidency, the healthcare sector faced significant challenges, including inadequate funding, brain drain, and poor infrastructure. Critics point out that Adesina, as a key member of the administration, had a responsibility to advocate for improved healthcare funding and infrastructure.

Many Nigerians are questioning why Buhari's administration did not prioritize investments in the healthcare sector, particularly in areas such as medical equipment, personnel training, and infrastructure development. The lack of investment in healthcare has led to a significant brain drain, with many Nigerian medical professionals seeking better opportunities abroad.

Critics argue that Adesina's comments demonstrate a double standard, where the administration prioritized the health needs of the president over those of ordinary Nigerians. They point out that while Buhari received medical treatment abroad, many Nigerians struggled to access quality healthcare within the country.

The controversy surrounding Adesina's comments highlights the need for healthcare reform in Nigeria. There is a growing demand for the government to prioritize investments in the healthcare sector, improve infrastructure, and increase funding for medical research and personnel training. By doing so, Nigeria can develop a more robust healthcare system that meets the needs of its citizens.

Femi Adesina's comments on Buhari's health have sparked a much-needed conversation about the state of healthcare in Nigeria. While it is undeniable that access to quality medical care is essential, critics argue that Adesina's comments ring hollow given the administration's record on healthcare. As Nigeria moves forward, it is essential to prioritize investments in the healthcare sector and develop a more robust healthcare system that meets the needs of all citizens.
