Aisha Yesufu Reacts To President Buhari’s London Medical Trip
Aisha Yesufu Slams President Buhari’s Decision To Embark On Medical Trip To UK
The co-convener of BringBackOurGirls, (BBOG), group, Aisha Yesufu, has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to travel to the United Kingdom on a medical trip while health workers in the country are on strike.
In her reaction on her Twitter Page, Aisha accused the president of running abroad for medical traetment while the nation’s public hospitals and health infrastructure continue to beg for attention.
She wrote, “No one begrudge the President access to best healthcare the world has to offer. Some of us begrudge the President having that access and not ensuring citizens he is supposed to lead have that access.
“Would it be a bad thing for Nigeria to have the best healthcare in the world?
“The hallmark of a true leader is COMPASSION! A leader should want better for those he or she leads. Want them to have access to the things he or she has access to and even more. Public hospitals have been comatose for a while now due to strikes.”
One would have expected President Buhari @MBuhari having had health challenges would have empathy and an understanding of what those in such situations are going through and would do all to ensure strikes are not allowed to fester but he and his family get the best so who cares?
