A former presidential spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, has stirred fresh debate over Nigeria’s failing healthcare system, stating bluntly that former President Muhammadu Buhari might have died years ago if he had chosen to receive medical treatment within the country.
Adesina made the controversial remark during a Channels Television interview on Tuesday, while responding to criticism surrounding Buhari’s death in a London hospital on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
