The comment “Is it a crime now to go for a check-up?” overlooks the larger issue of Nigeria’s president seeking healthcare abroad. While health check-ups are routine, the concern lies in the message this action sends. It highlights a lack of faith in the local healthcare system, raising questions about accountability and leadership.

Leaders should set an example by investing in and improving the country’s infrastructure, including healthcare. When the president seeks treatment abroad, it signals neglect of domestic systems and missed opportunities for reform, further deepening the healthcare divide in Nigeria.
