It is a national shame that Buhari went abroad for treatment - Dr Osahon Enabulele
- President Buhari's continued stay in the UK has been a source of concern for most Nigerians
- Many are disappointed the president choose to go to the UK for medical treatment

President Muhammadu Buhari
Dr Osahon Enabulele, the vice-president of
the Commonwealth Medical Association (CMA), said it was a "national
shame" that Mr Buhari had gone to the UK when Nigeria had many competent
ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists, as well as a National Ear
Centre.
According to the health minister,
Osagie Ehanire, Nigerians spent more than $1bn a year on medical
tourism, an amount Buhari's government promised to reduce.
President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the parliament to extend his medical leave in the UK citing medical reasons.
As no date has been set for his return, Nigerians
continue to worry about the state of the president's health amidst
rumours of his death.
Protests in Abuja, Lagos, Enugu and other places register the general anger of Nigerians over the state of the country.
In Abuja, some of the protesters spoke with BBC Africa. One woman complained: "We are completely in the dark."
And a lawyer added: "Anybody can fall sick but when a president falls sick, it should not be a confidential matter."
