The spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari in the person of Femi Adesina announced on Friday, June 25 the postponement of the president’s medical trip to London days after informing citizens the president was due for medical attention abroad.
Reacting to the development days after, Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq., National Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance (CAGG), alleged some reasons why the Nigerian President decided to cancel his medical trip to the United Kingdom.
According to him, some top politicians in the country might have admonished Buhari to temporarily suspend the trip given obvious possible reactions of the public.
He said: “Considering the volatile situation in the country, he was advised to stay put. They possibly argued that having gained a little acceptance because of his recent movements, the sudden medical trip might adversely affect the public view of him,”

He added: “The other aspect of it is the unfavourable intelligence report by security agencies given the persistent insecurity situation in the country.
There is the fear that his absence could make the little gains dwindle.

“The other factor is the threat by medical doctors to go on strike. There is the view that his medical trip will show him as being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians who may lose their lives as a result of the strike.
One wonders why the President will not subject himself to be treated at home,” Bamgbose reiterated.
