The former President said “I paid N350,000 (about $1000) for all my medical procedures at the Bayelsa Diagnostic Centre. I would have paid between $20,000 and $25,000 for the same quality of service in the USA”
Meanwhile, the former president used the opportunity to encourage Nigerians to patronize local hospitals.
Ben Bruce, however, tweeted as he shaded President Muhammadu Buhari who is currently about to take a 10-day leave to London:
