Buhari Reportedly Spent Only ₦20million On Ear Infection Treatment In The UK

The presidency has denied allegations by Prof. Farooq Kperogi that President Muhammadu Buhari spent £6m during his treatment for an ear infection in the United Kingdom. The senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, who debunked the allegation via his Facebook page said President Muhammadu Buhari spent less than £50,000 (N20.5m). According to Naij, the President’s spokesman said Buhari’s government believed in accountability and curbing waste. He said; “The disclosure on Prof. Farooq Kperogi’s wall that President Muhammadu Buhari’s ear treatment in the United Kingdom cost a whopping £6m must have shocked many of the respected scholar’s followers. I’m prepared to share documents with Farooq, one of the brightest ever produced from the Bayero University Kano that the whole treatment, including a follow-up visit by a specialist to Nigeria didn’t cost £50,000
