Medical Checkup Trip:  Omokri leads anti-Buhari protest at Nigeria House, London

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri and some Nigerians staged a protest at the Nigeria House in London against the President Muhammadu Buhari’s medical trip to London.

The President is currently in London where he would be spending two weeks to enable him to undergo a medical checkup.

To express their displeasure at the medical trip, Omokri and a group of protesters decided to protest at the gate of the Nigeria House brandishing placards with different inscriptions.

The former presidential aide questioned the decision of the President to have himself treated in London after reportedly failing to build a single hospital in Nigeria.

Omokri says: “He left Nigeria on the day that doctors began their strike.

“He’s not building hospitals for people, yet he comes here to enjoy the best in a country that has law and order. Why can’t he do that in his country?” Omokri asked.

He continued, “His children all schooled here in England. He has not built a single school for Nigerians. If they are sick, they all come here.”

Omokri also lamented the insecurity in the country and the hardship Nigerians are going through due to the economy under the Buhari-regime.
