Abaribe said that Buhari assured Nigerians that he would upgrade the health facilities in the country.

“He said he would never go for medical checkup during his campaign. We were assured that health facilities would be upgraded.”

Speaking further, he disappointedly averred that; “What we have is APC saying one thing and doing another.

“For medical check-up, you have to go all the way to UK. People have been coming here to do medical checkups for people. This means that we have some local hospitals that have upgraded.”
