Bashir El-Rufai, the son of Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has caused a stir on Twitter by taunting popular Nigerian singer and human rights activist, Falz, for undergoing knee surgery abroad instead of in Nigeria.
In a tweet, Bashir questioned why Falz, whom he described as a “bonafide human rights activist,” would opt for surgery in the UK instead of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).
The tweet has generated mixed reactions, with some people criticizing Bashir for using Falz’s health issue to score political points, while others have called for better healthcare infrastructure in Nigeria to prevent citizens from seeking medical treatment abroad.
The incident has sparked a conversation about the state of healthcare in Nigeria and the need for the government to prioritize investment in the healthcare sector.
