Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Adesina stated that President Buhari has used a medical team for over 40 years, hence the need to continue seeking medical help.
“President Buhari has been with the same doctors and medical team for upward of 40 years,” he said when asked why the President couldn’t have been treated in Nigeria.
“It is advisable that he continues with that who knows his medical history and that is why he comes to London to see them. He has used the same medical team for over 40 years. Once you can afford it, then stay with the team that has your history.”
