A member of the House of Representatives, Amobi Ogah, has stated that it is shameful that the late former President Muhammadu Buhari’s body was flown into the country after he died in London’s most expensive clinic.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television, Ogah wondered what was stopping Nigeria’s political elite from fixing the country’s public institutions.
He lamented that it was embarrassing that Nigerian leaders have to die abroad and be shipped back to the country.
The lawmaker stated this in defence of a bill seeking to prohibit public and civil servants from patronising private schools and healthcare.
He said, “You are aware that a few weeks ago or days ago, our former president was flown as cargo
“Is it not a shame that at each point in time, our big men travel outside for medical services? Is it not a shame?
“Are we not ashamed of it? It is high time we need to fix the system, and if you get education right, get health right, that means there is a future for all of us.
“If we don’t find a way to make sure that we return that public trust and make sure that we return that loss of focus on these institutions, if we don’t bring it back, we are not going anywhere.”
