I don't just know why all this stupid politicians are not ashamed of themselves. President Buhari should be ashamed of him self. How many head of state from another country have traveled to Nigeria for medical treatment . Imagine all the money they are stealing from the country no good roads no hospitals is a big shame

Thank you ! I thought as much , does it mean if I’m sick as a Nigerian the government would come to my support? The unilateral decision by the president is will backlash, bcaz this gesture if can be extended to one Nigerian then it should be extended to every Nigerian .The government that can’t subsidize on healthcare services for civil servants ,a government that have no measure in place for a standard or a conducive  environment for medical facilities for its citizen but would expend the little and already scarce resources on the few oligarchs in the country .Ekwueme as a former vp is been paid his retirement benefit without hindered,while those who have worked and laboured for the same country are being owed pensions for months if not years .
