Buhari’s Aide Caught In A Lie By Adetutu Balogun

Federal government that promised to send former vice president abroad reneged on their promise.
What do y’all think happened? Was it because Ekwueme refused to endorse their candidate?

From yesterday’s Vanguard

ENUGU—AILING Second Republic Vice President, Dr. Alex Ekwueme was yesterday flown abroad for continued medical treatment but the Federal Government will not bear the cost of the treatment. Sources told Vanguard that this was because the Federal Government has reneged on its promise to bear the full cost of treatment and transportation of the elder statesman to a hospital in London, and referred the issue to the Anambra State government where Ekwueme hails from. According to the sources, the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, who released an Air Ambulance to take Ekwueme to London, informed the Ekwueme family that was the extent the government could go.
