State House clinic: Life of Buhari, family at risk – Reps

The ad-hoc committee of the House of Representatives probing Aso Rock Clinic has declared that the life of President Muhammadu Buhari and his family members would not be put at risk following its deteriorating state.
The committee, led by Hon. Magaji Aliyu, said there was need to have an effective health management in place in case of an emergency.

Magaji stated this during an afternoon interactive session with Ismaila Kawu, Senior Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters (House); Ita Enang, Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate); Osagie Ehanire, Minister of State for Health and representatives of Muhammad Bello, FCT Minister, at the National Assembly complex, Abuja.
The committee chairman and other lawmakers expressed grave concerns over the presentations of both ministers earlier, who claimed ignorance of activities of the State House Clinic, frowned at the poor management of the facility by previous administrations.
He said, “The summary of the whole thing is that the clinic is just there, it is not supervised and is not under anybody.
“The Ministry of Health and FCT said they are not aware, meaning the hospital is just there. I want all information on the clinic.

“We can’t afford to risk the life of Mr. President and somebody should be responsible.”
