Wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha Buhari, on Monday said the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu took advantage of the president’s absence to carry out his activities. Mr Buhari has spent over 150 days in London this year on account of ill-health.
Mrs. Buhari while speaking at the presidential villa in Abuja said the absence of the president created a set-back, that the IPOB leader leveraged on.
“As a result of the president spending several months outside Nigeria, a 40-year-old man who was still living in his father’s house created a state out of a state and that is a major setback for the country and the health sector did not benefit,” she said. Earlier, Mrs Buhari had called for the probe of the management of Aso Rock clinic.
She recall how she recently fell ill and was advised to travel to London for treatment, but she refused.

Mrs. Buhari recalled how she recently fell ill and was advised to travel to London for treatment, but she refused.
She said, “I called the Aso Clinic to find out if they have an X-Ray machine, they said it’s not working
“In the end I had to go to a hospital owned and operated by foreigners 100 per cent.
“There is a budget for the Hospital and if you go there now, you will see a number of constructions going on but they don’t have a single syringe there.
“What is the purpose of the buildings if there are no equipment there to work with?
“You can imagine what happens across the states to governors’ wives if this will happen to me in Abuja.”
