Spokesman of President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has said that Nigerians have the right to think that his principal’s trip to the United Kingdom is for medical treatment.
Mr Adeshina said this on Thursday on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
“Those who want to interpret everything, those who want to believe all things should just believe that it is a private trip. When a man goes on a private trip, he has the right to use his time the way he deems because he has the right to private time.
“So those who want to believe it’s a medical trip, they have the right to believe, if it pleases them and makes them happier,” Adesina said.
Buhari left for a private visit to the UK on Thursday after commissioning several state-executed projects in Maiduguiri, Borno State.
He is expected back in the country on May 5.
The spokesman also said: “President Buhari has since the last weekend in December when he launched the presidential campaign, all through till February he was on campaign stuff around the country.
“Elections came and a lot of people expected that immediately after the elections, he will travel out to rest or attend to his health, but we see two months after the elections, the President was working vigorously.”
