Especially Mr president

Did you inform Tinubu and Buhari about your findings?

Invest in health care & reap the reward.

Bear in Mind, this doesn’t include Buhari’s and his Family’s own

This is what our politicians like. Wasting the national treasury on medical tourism. This is why we need a health President and not a sick President l. Nigerians be wise !!!

But why?. Why is everyone just stealing without emotions or remorse?. Una wan carry am go heaven?. It's not like they are investigating in the country. They just keep stacking it up somewhere. Wicked souls

How much of this came from Buhari, Tinubu and Atiku?

Story for the Gods

Buhari and his men are the highest spenders

Buhari, Tinubu and Atiku are number one

You can be certain Tinubu will use much more
