Buhari Rejected Proposed £50,000 For His Ear Treatment - Presidency

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, says President Muhammadu Buhari spent less than £50,000 (N20.5m) on the treatment of an ear infection in the United Kingdom.



Shehu said this in a Facebook post on Sunday night while responding to an allegation by Prof. Farooq Kperogi that Buhari spent £6m during his treatment in June.

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

Shehu said the Presidency had approved over £50,000 for the President’s treatment but Buhari rejected it.
