Don’t go abroad for medicare throughout your four years – LP tells Buhari

The Labour Party, LP, has called on President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to stop public servants in his administration from going abroad to receive medical attention. The party made the call on Sunday through its National Chairman, Alhaji Abdulkadir Salam, in an interview with journalists on Sunday in Abuja.

The party also said for Buhari to fight the corruption war, he must not spare “the first eleven.”“There are certain things that we expect Buhari to do urgently. Health is one, so that our people will not go abroad for treatment again. He can do it; he told us he can do it. We has the resources to do it. We have the material and human resources to do it. So, we believe he can do it if he wants to do it; this will reduce medical tourism in Nigeria.

“Nigerians are not ready to accept excuses from him.”According Salam, Buhari made people believe he could completely turn around the affairs of the country in few months, advising the President-elect to lead Nigerians by adhering to the change mantra of the All Progressives Congress, APC, by not going abroad in search of medical treatment throughout his four-year term.

He said: “Let me say here that Nigerians have given the APC the authority and the mandate to come out with the changes. APC people, who clamoured for change, told Nigerians they wanted change and campaigned on the platform and basis of change.

“Let nobody now begin to tell us that he cannot perform miracle, because they told Nigerians that when they come they would perform miracle. We will not expect Buhari to go abroad for any medical treatment. Our health system must be properly put in place. He must focus attention on it; let them not tell us that they cannot provide jobs for our teeming youths. Let them not tell us that the security lapses will continue in any manner, since they told us that they would perform miracle.

“Based on that change and miracle, Nigerians voted for them. So, in all spheres of human endeavour-education, health, agriculture, infrastructural development, power, energy and the rest-they should be able to satisfy Nigerians within a reasonable period.”

Our government will not witch-hunt anyone – Buhari

President Elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated a 19-member transition committee with a charge to members not to engage in a witch hunt or fault finding. He also announced that his administration would not witch-hunt anybody because he was aware that government is a continuum.

Buhari said this while inaugurating the Ahmed Joda-led transition committee in Abuja, on Wednesday. While expressing gratitude to members of the committee for accepting to serve at very short notice, he explained that the change from one government to another always involves complicated operational challenges.

According to him, the incoming government needs to know where the previous government stopped so that it can know where to continue. He noted that Nigeria was blessed with outstanding men and women of competence and experience in different fields out of which his team has picked the nineteen to ensure a smooth process.

Buhari told committee members, “this assignment though onerous, it is well within your ability to accomplish, you are required to assess the information provided to you and advise me on its quality and accuracy.”
