President Muhammadu Bubari has approved the immediate medical treatment of former Vice President, Alex Ekwueme, outside the country.

The approval followed a brief received by President Buhari on Friday concerning his medical condition.

Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity in a statement said the approval covers the immediate charter of an Air Ambulance for the emergency movement and the cost of treatment.
President Buhari prays that God will grant the elder statesman speedy recovery.
