After Knee Replacement, Indian Hospital Casts Ex-Nigerian President Abdulsalami in Promo Footage
The former Nigerian Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has been seen featured prominently in promotional footage by Krishna Shalby Hospital in Ahmedabad, India following his knee replacement surgery at the facility.
The hospital shared video footage seen on social media revealing the former military ruler as part of activities marking a milestone in its international patient care services.
In the footage, Abdulsalami is presented as an international patient who received treatment at the Indian hospital, highlighting the facility’s services to patients from outside the country.
Abdulsalami, who served as Nigeria’s military Head of State from 1998 to 1999, has in recent years maintained a relatively low public profile while participating in national and international peacebuilding and mediation efforts.
The hospital’s decision to feature him in the promotional material comes after he underwent knee replacement surgery at the facility.
The footage showcases the hospital’s medical facilities and its international patient services, with Abdulsalami’s case presented as part of the institution’s milestone celebration.
