By Imo State Governor, Rochas Owelle Okorocha has declared that if President Muhammadu Buhari cannot afford to pay for his medical bills in London, 20million Nigerians will gather to contribute the money needed.
Okorocha said this in a recent interview while reacting to comments made by some Nigerians that Presidency was using tax payers to foot the medical bills.
He said, “If today there is an announcement that President Buhari lacks the money to treat himself abroad, believe me, more than 20 million Nigerians will contribute for his health.
“So this is a neither here nor there. We must understand what and who he represents. President Buhari will not naturally lack funds. People supported him when the need arises. He is a man who lives for the people.”
He continued, “He does not live for himself. So Buhari must be seen as a great Nigeria who has made uttermost sacrifice in many ramifications. You can see that from his family.
“You can see that from his family, his children. He does not discuss weath. So anytime he needs money, I am sure millions of Nigerians will contribute even if it is one kobo for his health.”
