LP wants Buhari to rapidly develop Health Sector
The Labour Party has urged Gen Muhammadu Buhari to improve the Health sector rapidly and put a stop to public servants in his administration from seeking medical attention in foreign countries.
The National Chairman of the party, Abdulkadir Salam, who said this in an interview with journalists in Abuja, said for Buhari to fight the corruption war, he must not ignore his own cabinet.
“There are certain things that we expect Buhari to do urgently. Health is one, so that our people will not go abroad for treatment again. He can do it; he told us he can do it. We have the resources to do it”, he said.
“We have the material and human resources to do it. So, we believe he can do it if he wants to do it; this will reduce medical tourism in Nigeria. Nigerians are not ready to accept excuses from him.
“Let me say here that Nigerians have given the APC the authority and the mandate to come out with the changes. APC people, who clamoured for change, told Nigerians they wanted change and campaigned on the platform and basis of change.
“Let nobody now begin to tell us that he cannot perform miracle, because they told Nigerians that when they come they would perform miracle. We will not expect Buhari to go abroad for any medical treatment.
“Our health system must be properly put in place. He must focus attention on it; let them not tell us that they cannot provide jobs for our teeming youths. Let them not tell us that the security lapses will continue in any manner, since they told us that they would perform miracle.”
