Nigeria is fast becoming a laughing stock in the
international community with international media bodies like the CNN, New York
Times reporting about Buhari's medical tourism.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari
is under pressure to disclose the state of his health after he embarked on a
fourth medical trip to London.
Nigeria's opposition party, People's
Democractic Party (PDP), said it was time for the president to reveal his
medical condition.
PDP spokesman Kola Ologbodiyan said:
"We need full disclosure about the president's health. He needs to be
honest with Nigerians to say he his unwell. He can't travel for an official
meeting to the US and sneak into London to see his doctor, then tell Nigerians
it was a technical stopover due to flight issues."
Buhari,75, announced Monday he will
travel to the United Kingdom to see his doctor, reigniting speculation about
the state of his health and ability to rule Africa's biggest economy.
The president also saw his doctor
last week in London on his way back from Washington where he had met with the
US President Donald Trump at the White House, his aide said.
Nigerians on social media have also
joined in the call for Buhari to make his health records public. These calls
have grown louder since he announced plans to seek re-election next year.
