A controversial online medium, Sahara Reporters is reporting that Senate President Bukola Saraki who claimed to be a medical doctor has not been licensed to practice in the United Kingdom.
Sahara Reporters said that Saraki had once claimed he practiced medicine at Rush Green Hospital, London, after qualifying as a medical doctor from the University of London in 1988.
The General Medical Council in an email message, signed by Sarah Orr, its Media Relations Officer, was responding to SaharaReporters’ enquiry about Saraki’s status as a medical doctor.
Sahara Reporters said that according to the GMC, all licensed doctors working in the United Kingdom have to undergo a revalidation process to ensure that their skills are up to date and they are fit to practice.
Majority of doctors, said the GMC, revalidate every five years, a condition that disqualifies Mr. Saraki from practising in the United Kingdom, as he has no licence.
“The Senate President has, as its GMC registration number, 3196713. His name on the register is Olubukola Adebisi Olabowale (wrongly spelled as ‘Alabuwale’) Saraki.
He was provisionally registered on January 7, 1988, and became fully registered exactly a year later.
He is neither in the specialist register nor the General Practitioners’ register and therefore not eligible for validation. His registration/licensing history, according to the GMC, shows that he was registered on November 16, 2009, without a licence,” Sahara Reporters said.
The Online medium added:” Saraki arrived Nigeria in the early 1990s to engage in NYSC and served in his father’s now-defunct bank Societe General Bank of Nigeria, in 1992, the Nigeria police arrested and charged him for stealing N500,000 from customers. According to Saraki’s entry on INEC former, he served at SGBN from 1990-2000. Saraki and other executives of the bank looted SGBN leading the bank to collapse completely.”
