This was disclosed in a terse statement on Tuesday, May 10, by the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Femi Adesina.
PulseNets gathered that the medical treatment for Buhari comes “at the behest of his Dentist, who has started attending to him.
“The Specialist must see the President in another five days for a procedure already commenced”, the statement said.

Also, on October 31 2022, the President jetted to London for a “routine medical check-up”.
Buhari’s several medical holidays have raised controversy despite the country’s budgetary allocation for the State House.
Last year, N10.6 billion was released to construct the Presidential Wing of the State House Clinic in Aso Villa, according to the Permanent Secretary of State House, Tijanni Umar.
