A Nigerian lawyer, Olusegun Bamgbose has revealed what he believes are the reasons why President Muhammadu Buhari suddenly cancelled his scheduled medical trip to London.
According to Bamgbose who is the National Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance (CAGG), Buhari must have changed his mind because of two reasons.
Buhari’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, announced the postponement of Buhari’s medical trip to London a few days after informing Nigerians that his principal was billed for medical attention abroad.
Bamgbose said the truth about the matter is that some top politicians might have prevailed on him to temporarily suspend the trip given obvious possible reactions of the public.
“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 told DAILY POST on Monday.
“The other aspect of it is the unfavorable 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.”
