The Executive Governor of Imo state Ewele Rochas Okorocha has said that it is only in Nigeria that people are happy when someone is going down. The governor made this statement while dismissing claims that President Buhari used the opportunity of the visit to Germany, to seek medical attention.
He said: “The president never went for any medical check-up. At least I was with him till 1 a.m. after dinner before I left him and he went to bed, and the following day I came out to see him in the morning.
“He didn’t go to any hospital. The only hospital we went to was to see a military general who had an accident. I don’t know why in this part of the world people are only happy when someone is down. I think we also have to change our attitude.
“If Buhari succeeds, it is Nigeria that is succeeding, and if Nigeria fails it is not Buhari that is failing. So we just need to support him to succeed so that all of us can be happy.”
