A cross section of Nigerians have hailed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo's openness about his health status and his choice of medical care apparently in a local hospital.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity in the Office of the Vice President, Mr Laolu Akande Saturday evening tweeted that "VP Osinbajo is in the hospital today for a surgical procedure on account of a recurrent pain in the leg possibly sustained from an injury while playing squash."
Mr Akande added that "his doctors would give an update of the treatment later today."
Reacting to the news, some Nigerians went on social media to commend the VP's choice of a local hospital for a medical procedure and wished him quick recovery.
For instance, Ken Osemebor on twitter reacted thus: "I was scared you wanted to refer to that helicopter crash…. I hope it’s something minor. This is a new one, updating the citizens about the well-being of the VP, one day we will do better. Extend our best wishes to H.E."
In the same vein, Kemisola Adekunle's comment on twitter reads: "I am sure it is not too serious. But kudos to the vice president for trusting in his doctors here at home and not having to fly abroad for treatment. It shows his believe in Nigeria medical doctors."
Another Nigerian simply known as Chika on twitter said "speedy recovery sir. Noteworthy that he’s using a local hospital and local doctors. Talk and do."
Also, Tamuno Tonye wished "quick recovery to the senior advocate of masses who believes in everything in Nigeria, owned by Nigerians and for Nigerians."
He added that "our medical services has proven to be world class for all citizens irrespective of their societal class."
