The Peoples Democratic Party has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari’s statement in which he said Nigerians “who feel they have another country may choose to go.”
The PDP described the statement as unpresidential, defeatist and characteristic of what it called failed leadership.
With the statement, the party said the President spoke like someone who had lost sense of responsibility towards his citizens.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday, said President Buhari, in saying that Nigerians, “who feel they have another country may choose to go”, had further confirmed that “he is completely insensitive to the plight of our citizens and has no solution to the myriad of problems his incompetent and disorganised administration has caused our nation.”
He described the President’s comment as “unfatherly” and a direct slap on the sensibilities of millions of Nigerians, who he said, had been painfully bearing the economic hardship, hunger and starvation which he said was allegedly caused by President Buhari’s administration.
Ologbondiyan said these were the problems that were forcing Nigerians to embark on what he called suicide missions and slavery as survival options.
He said, “Such comment is a spit on the graves of thousands of compatriots killed by marauders in various parts of the country, while the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress remained aloof without decisive actions to end the carnage and bring the perpetrators of the bloodlettings to book.
Ologbondiyan said that President Buhari should also come to terms with the fact that majority of Nigerians could no longer take the alleged failures, insensitivity and “incompetence of his administration.”
