Former presidential spokesman Femi Adesina dismissed claims that Muhammadu Buhari maintained personal property in London during his tenure. The media adviser appeared on Channels Television Tuesday to address persistent rumors about the late president's overseas accommodations. Adesina clarified that Buhari utilized the Nigerian High Commission facilities throughout his extended medical visits to the United Kingdom. The former leader spent eight months at the diplomatic mission during one particularly lengthy treatment period. These arrangements contradicted widespread assumptions about private real estate ownership in Britain.
Buhari developed relationships with London medical professionals long before assuming presidential office. This established connection explained his continued preference for receiving healthcare services in the British capital rather than elsewhere. The consistency of his medical team provided continuity of care that influenced his travel decisions. Adesina emphasized that these professional relationships preceded any political responsibilities. The former president maintained these medical partnerships throughout his civilian administration.
Financial support for medical expenses came through assistance from affluent associates rather than government resources. Buhari depended on the generosity of wealthy supporters to cover treatment costs and related expenses during his London stays. This arrangement allowed him to access necessary healthcare while managing personal financial limitations. The former spokesman highlighted how these friendships provided essential backing for medical care. Such support networks enabled Buhari to maintain his health without straining public funds.
