POLITICAL UPDATESAisha Buhari Exposes Aso Rock Clinic Management: "No Single Syringe There"

..The wife of President Muhammadu Buhari,
Aisha, has followed the footsteps of her
daughter, Zahra, by criticising the management
of Aso Rock Clinic.
Zahra Buhari had last week taken to her
Instagram page to criticise the Permanent
Secretary of the State House, Jalal Arabi, for his
inability to provide even Paracetamol tablets to
the clinic despite a budget of N3 billion for the
provision of drugs to the hospital.
Speaking Monday at a stakeholders meeting on
Reproductive, Maternal, Nutrition, Child Advocacy
and Health and Nutrition, RMNCAH+N, at the
State House, Abuja, Mrs. Buhari said she recently
fell ill and was advised to travel to London for
treatment, but she refused.
“I called the Aso Clinic to find out if they have
an X-Ray machine, they said it’s not working
“In the end I had to go to a hospital owned and
operated by foreigners 100 per cent
“There is a budget for the Hospital and if you go
there now, you will see a number of
constructions going on but they don’t have a
single syringe there. What is the purpose of the
buildings if there are no equipment there to work
with?”
“You can imagine what happens across the
states to governors wives if this will happen to
me in Abuja,” she said.
The Aso Rock Clinic management said last week
it was short of funds for major projects and
purchases and would demand the
commercialisation of the clinic’s operations for
efficiency.
