Don’t Go Abroad For Medicare Throughout Your Four Years – LP Tells Buhari

The Labour Party, LP, has called on
President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to
stop public servants in his administration
from going abroad to receive medical
attention.
The party made the call on Sunday through
its National Chairman, Alhaji Abdulkadir
Salam, in an interview with journalists on
Sunday in Abuja.
The party also said for Buhari to fight the
corruption war, he must not spare “the first
eleven.”
“There are certain things that we expect
Buhari to do urgently. Health is one, so that
our people will not go abroad for treatment
again. He can do it; he told us he can do it.
We has the resources to do it. We have the
material and human resources to do it. So,
we believe he can do it if he wants to do it;
this will reduce medical tourism in Nigeria.
“Nigerians are not ready to accept excuses
from him.”
According Salam, Buhari made people
believe he could completely turn around the
affairs of the country in few months,
advising the President-elect to lead Nigerians
by adhering to the change mantra of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, by not going
abroad in search of medical treatment
throughout his four-year term.
He said: “Let me say here that Nigerians
have given the APC the authority and the
mandate to come out with the changes.
APC people, who clamoured for change,
told Nigerians they wanted change and
campaigned on the platform and basis of
change.
“Let nobody now begin to tell us that he
cannot perform miracle, because they told
Nigerians that when they come they would
perform miracle. We will not expect Buhari
to go abroad for any medical treatment.
Our health system must be properly put in
place. He must focus attention on it; let
them not tell us that they cannot provide
jobs for our teeming youths. Let them not
tell us that the security lapses will continue
in any manner, since they told us that they
would perform miracle.
