The Presidency has denied allegations that President Muhammadu Buhari spent £6m on treatment for an ear infection in the United Kingdom.
According to Naij, Mallam Garba Shehu, Buhari’s special assistant on media and publicity, made the Presidency’s position known via his Facebook page, where he claimed that Buhari only spent N20.5 million on treatment.
“For the records, the administration advanced a higher sum, but the President’s doctor returned the balance to the treasury.
“Indeed, it’s a New Day, and President Buhari’s change mantra is real. Let no one confuse my fellow countrymen and women,” Shehu’s post read in part.
