She explained that the president has been visiting his personal doctor for about 40 years, noting that the president has the right to embark on such a trip wherever his doctor is located.
In related news, as the protest against the medical trip of President Buhari continues in London, the United Kingdom, one of the organiser's of the action has revealed why they embarked on the quest to chase the president out of the country's former colonizer.
According to Reno Omokri while speaking during a live interview on BBC Facebook page, said the president has no business in London given that substantial sum of money was budgeted for Aso Rock's medical facilities.
He said the organisers of the protest simply want the president to go back to Nigeria to fix things up, build hospitals, improve on the healthcare system and make life generally good for the people of Nigeria.
