President Buhari did not go to Germany for Medical Check-up - Rochas Okorocha
Okorocha, who was part of the president’s entourage to Berlin, Germany, was reacting to media interview granted by a Kano-based social commentator, Dr Junaid Muhaamed.
Muhammed had alleged that Buhari visited Germany on Friday to seek medical attention over an undisclosed illness, but Okorocha who spoke to State House correspondents in Abuja debunked the allegation, saying that the official engagements of Buhari in Germany, had no connection, whatsoever, with medication.
He said the visit to Germany only ended on a compassionate note on Saturday with the president’s convoy veering off its way back to the airport in Berlin, to visit a Nigerian military officer receiving treatment in a Berlin hospital.
“President never went for any medical check-up. At least I was with him till 1.00a.m, after the dinner before I left him and he went to bed,
“I went to bed and the following day I came out to see him in the morning, So, the president never went for any medical at all. The only hospital we went to was to see a general who had an accident.
“These are some of the things that people make uninformed comments and I do not know why in this part of our world we are always happy when someone is going down. I think there is need to change our attitude completely.
“If this issue had been on issue on how to move Nigeria forward, you won’t see on social media, you will not see comment on it, nobody we talk about it,’’ he said.
