– Presidency has denied allegations by Prof. Farooq Kperogi that President Muhammadu Buhari spent £6m during his treatment for an ear infection in the United Kingdom

– Mallam Garba Shehu, who debunked the allegation via his Facebook page said President Muhammadu Buhari spent less than £50,000 (N20.5m)


The presidency has denied allegations by Prof. Farooq Kperogi that President Muhammadu Buhari spent £6m during his treatment for an ear infection in the United Kingdom.

The senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, who debunked the allegation via his Facebook page said President Muhammadu Buhari spent less than £50,000 (N20.5m).


The President’s spokesman said Buhari’s government believed in accountability and curbing waste.

He said;  “The disclosure on Prof. Farooq Kperogi’s wall that President Muhammadu Buhari’s ear treatment in the United Kingdom cost a whopping £6m must have shocked many of the respected scholar’s followers.

“I’m prepared to share documents with Farooq, one of the brightest ever produced from the Bayero University Kano that the whole treatment, including a follow-up visit by a specialist to Nigeria didn’t cost £50,000.

“For the records, the administration advanced a higher sum, but the President’s doctor returned the balance to the treasury.

“Indeed, it’s a New Day, and President Buhari’s change mantra is real. Let no one confuse my fellow countrymen and women.”

Speaking further, he took a swipe at former first lady, Patience Jonathan who had claimed that the $15m found in some company accounts was for her medical treatment

He added that President Buhari would have rejected the bill if the doctor had charged him £6m.


“The story reads like an incredible tale by moonlight that belongs to a different era, which fortunately is now history. That’s when a fortunate lady saved $15m for medical treatment!

“But was it possible that the account of this balanced journalism teacher was hacked? I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

“Given the austere President we have, Muhammadu Buhari would not have approved this amount if he was shown a £6m bill. I won’t be surprised if the President may have asked if the fat bill was for the purchase of a brand new pair of ears!”

Two testimonies from two people. One a known born liar, the other not too known to be a liar. Who will you likely believe? Well I believe the Prof, because this government eats, lives, sleeps and wakes with lies. £6m it is, believe it or not. That is the true expenditure for ear drops.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

You call N20million only?

I don't blame you. I blame myself and my voter's Card for jumping into the wrong box instead of KOWA party.

£50k is more than N20M, it should be about 25-30m.

Buhari spent N30M just to fix one ear when the country is in recession and IDPs are malnourished. Buhari has betrayed the trust reposed on him.


BTW I'll love to see receipts

with the daily gaffes of this govt their zombies don tire


no wonder gbawe and his other zombies escaped

God has his way of doing things....after all the money he keeps getting disease...my granny at her age is still sound....I blame Nigerians that voted for old man

And the ear is still not funtioning to full capacity like our refineries

Funny we didn't hear you say all this when Jonathan and his band of kleptomaniacs made Abacha look like Pope John Paul.

But I thought he said,as soon as he becomes president,that there will be no more health care abroad?

This is one of the things I really detest about our leaders.... Just dedicate that same amount to 5 teaching hospitals and see the magic it will perform. Why does our government continue to berate our health sector? These madness should stop

Stay on this topic. What's your take on this brazen waste

In his asset declaration form, Buhari said he had only N30million in cash. But now he is spending 20million on ear infection that can be treated here in any good teaching hospital. My voting for BUHARI is a regrettable mistake one too many......

The Presidency already let us know they spent far more just in case the British hospital slips. See quote below



“For the records, the administration advanced a higher sum, but the President’s doctor returned the balance to the treasury."

I really do not understand why this issue is being over-stretched?!

The Economy is collapsing, and what the Opposition could do to help is looking for the loopholes to condemn the Presidency!

I know some Wailers would quote to attack my comment, expect no reply from me!
