why we wont disclose cost of president Buharis medical biil
The Federal Government says it will not
succumb to any pressure to disclose expenses for President Muhammadu Buhari’s
medical treatment in London.Information and culture minister Lai Mohammed said
demanding information on the president’s medical bill had implications for
national security and moral issues.
In comments to State
House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by
Buhari, Mohammed said, “This matter has come several times and our position on
the matter is quite straight forward.
“What are the
president’s conditions of service? What are his entitlements in terms of his
well-being and health care? The state is supposed to take responsibility for
these.
“We believe that asking
for how much has been spent on the health of the President is an issue that we
should weigh very well both for national security and also for moral issues.
“I don’t know why we
must divulge such very sensitive information. I might be wrong, but I don’t
have experience elsewhere that the president of any country will be ill and be
forced to disclose how much the state has spent on his health.
