Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Nigerian lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has reacted to Atiku Abubakar\u2019s claim that he may have to use foreign health facilities.<\/p>\n

Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had said at the Arise Television presidential town hall meeting series, on Sunday, that he may not rely entirely on Nigerian hospitals for personal healthcare if elected president in the forthcoming presidential election.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cHealth facilities that cater to my health may not be available.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have limitations; we know we have those limitations.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Senator Sani has come out to say it was better Atiku did not toe the path of campaign deception.<\/p>\n

He made his reaction known in a post via his verified Twitter handle.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cRather than lie that when he wins he will restrict himself to Nigerian hospital, it\u2019s better that Atiku refused to toe that path of campaign deception.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recall that Nigerian political elites are notoriously known for rushing to foreign countries for medical care, a development that has been blamed on the neglect of the country\u2019s health sector.<\/p>\n
