President Buhari has mananged to annoy Nigerians again. It would appear his administration is infamous for making political missteps, the latest being Buhari’s announcement on social media approving mediacle treatment abroad for the former Vice President Alex Ekwueme.

President @MBuhari has approved the immediate medical treatment of former Vice-President, Dr Alex Ekwueme, outside Nigeria. 1/

— Presidency Nigeria (@NGRPresident) November 3, 2017

2/ The approval covers the immediate charter of an Air Ambulance for the emergency movement and the cost of treatment.

3/ President @MBuhari prays that God will grant the elder statesman speedy recovery.

Twitter Nigeria finds it suspicious that President Buhari considered this particular act worthy of announcement, when he did not bother announcing that of former Northern President like Babangida. They think it’s because President Buhari wants something from the South East. See below:

Juliet gives thanks

PMB did well to approve prompt evacuation on health grounds, for Pa Ekwueme. I pray he recovers swiftly |May we prioritize #Healthcare4ALL.

Not so fast

GEJ bought two brand new bulletproof jeeps for GMB(statutory entitlements) without fanfare. Why are people commending Buhari bikonu?

Babangida was flown abroad at least twice in 2016, Germany and Switzerland. Buhari didn't announce those. https://t.co/Y3WvngALJt

My point exactly. Even Gowon was flown as well as Shagari. Why announce Ekwueme's?

Coming to Igboland

Anambra Elections are here! You forgot APC thrives on propaganda? But they WILL NEVER win that state.

When Buhari arrives Igboland next week on campaign tour, the only project he would point to is sending Ekwueme abroad for treatment.

?????????

Ekwueme can afford immediate treatment anywhere in the world .

A failed leader like Buhari is simply campaigning for reelection https://t.co/dtl5KUILfe

We can do bad all by ourselves

Ekwueme’s daughter is Oseloka’s running mate. But let’s pretend he can’t afford health care without Buhari’s help.

— AlphaFemale (@alpha_orikaeze1) November 3, 2017

Ekwueme family & Igbos can take care of Ekwueme's medical treatment anywhere in the world. We don't need Buhari's help.

— Edmund Amobi (@edmmobi) November 4, 2017

I can relate, one was deserved, the other is out of pity, hence the need to announce. ?

— Ugoo (@Maverickk_007) November 4, 2017

We see what you did there

Breaking news: Buhari approves immediate treatment of former VP Ekwueme abroad.

???????

Is that another achievement in the SE?

Its just to score cheap political points.

“We treated your son Dr Alex Ekwueme abroad.” Vote for us.

When you are dealing with equals, you respect their rights. When you are dealing with pawns you make them realize & remember the favours.

— Ikemba Eze (@ikembaeze50) November 4, 2017

Treatment abroad is a right of an ex-VP. Buhari didn't do Ekwueme a favour. GEJ purchased bulletproof cars for Buhari without announcing it. pic.twitter.com/5RnUkfG7yV

Buharists strike

without fanfare you said? You're economical with truth. Who didn't know that GEJ gave Buhari vehicles?

— Yashim Joseph Austin (@joseyashim) November 4, 2017

How did you know if it was not announced? Hypocrite!!!!

— Ogbeni Tade Segun (@SegunTade) November 4, 2017

Rubbish

The press release on the evacuation of chief Ekwueme by FG is unnecessary, indecorus& unprofessional. there ar limits 2 propaganda

— Doyin (@doyinokupe) November 3, 2017

The breaking news from Aso villa that Buhari has approved the abroad treatment for Alex Ekwueme is an insult to all Igbos .#SighBuhari

Unfortunate.
