Buhari had no home in London, relied on friends for medical bills — Femi Adesina
Special Adviser to former President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has said his late principal never had a private residence in London despite frequently traveling there for medical treatment.
Adesina spoke on Tuesday when he appeared on Channels Television.
He also refuted speculations that Buhari had a permanent property in the United Kingdom.
The ex-presidential spokesman pointed out that the former President mostly stayed at the Nigerian High Commission during his medical trips.
“There was a time he was in the High Commission for many months when he went on that eight-month medical vacation,” Adesina said.
According to him, Buhari had been consistent with his medical team in London even before becoming President, which explained his preference for treatment in the UK.
Speaking on the cost of the medical care and other personal expenses, Adesina disclosed that Buhari largely depended on the goodwill of wealthy friends.
