A Nigerian activist, Adetoun Onajobi, criticized former President Muhammadu Buhari, stating that there is no reason for Nigerians to mourn a leader who failed to provide quality healthcare in his own country.
In a video shared on social media, the activist questioned why a president who spent years promising to build a presidential hospital ultimately died in a private hospital abroad.
She added that the late Nigerian leader’s administration was filled with promises about building hospitals, yet he did not trust the country’s healthcare system when it mattered most.
She expressed frustration over the billions spent on medical trips abroad while ordinary Nigerians continue to suffer and die in poorly equipped general hospitals.
Adetoun argued that it is unfair for leaders who neglected to improve the healthcare system to receive grand national burials funded by public money. She urged President Bola Tinubu to take action and work for the benefit of the masses during his time in office.
“Buhari no die for Nigeria. Person wey carry our money say he wan build presidential hospital, shout shout shout from January to December for four years to build hospital. He go die private hospital in London so now like this we supposed to dey do national cry.
“When we are telling people that you don’t know who be affected. all the power security emergency flying is over now. Tinubu do the one we go favor everybody. You be be president build hospital for us take care of the masses you say ear dey pain you you then go to bone marrow transplant they spend all the national money on you. now, you are not in power.
“I’m not sympathizing with anybody because na our money dem go use do national burial. you see it? politicians
you see the power of greed and vengeance? now they be saying this president better pass this one down. the only good president is the one that will put infrastructure in your country. i cannot condole with anybody. i cannot sympathize with anybody because masses too are dying every day some people don die for general hospital ,some as they are born they die.
“This is not insensitivity this is about everybody. we’re all affected no matter how big or how small you are. we are all affected in this crisis how can the president of a country go and die in another person’s country eh?”
