President Buhari left Nigeria to attend the coronation of King Charles last Saturday but his decision to stay back for medical reasons has irked critics, many of whom say they were tired of the pattern.
“The president can’t trust any dentist in this country to attend to him, yet your government is trying to force medical practitioners not to leave the country for where they will be appreciated. It’s a shame,” a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the opposition party posted via @rilwan_ola01 handle.
“It’s obvious that @MBuhari entered office in 2015 with an ear problem which later lasted for 8 months on a medical trip abroad. It will not be out of place if he finishes with a tooth problem, well-done baba,” another Twitter user, @PSnewsflash wrote reacting to Ahmed’s post.
