Human rights lawyer Mr Femi Falana was apparently referring to the December 31, 1983 coup speech that brought the then Major-General Muhammadu Buhari to power when he said the country’s hospitals had become mere consulting clinics under President Buhari. The soldiers had alleged, while giving reasons why they overthrew the corrupt and inept Alhaji Shehu Shagari administration, among other things, that the country’s hospitals then had become “mere consulting clinics.
Falana said, “When this same President, as a military Head of State, came in 1983, December 31, and said our hospitals had been reduced to consulting clinics; it was a confirmation of the struggle of the Nigerian doctors. So, Beko and others thought he meant well and after six months, there was no improvement, they went on strike that paralysed the medical sector.”
Falana drove the second point of the auspiciousness of his claim that the hospitals are now worst under the Buhari administration thus: “But one thing that is important is this – because we must link events – the man who said hospitals were consulting clinics in 1983 is the President today, those hospitals have become mortuaries. Hence, he flies abroad for treatment at public expense.”
