Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
has labelled as “national disgrace” the declaration by President Muhammadu
Buhari, that he had all the while believed he was 74 years.
The PDP, in a statement by its
Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Prince Diran Odeyemi in Osogbo, Tuesday,
pointed out that many Nigerians and even the global community must have been
taken aback that a 21st century leader of a country like Nigeria did not know
his real year of birth.
The statement said, “How many
other inconsistencies are in Mr. President’s biodata submitted to INEC? We are
sure there are more. And the world is waiting on the body to give details about
our President.
“We advise INEC to revisit those
forms President Buhari filled in all elections he had participated in,
especially those he filled before 2015 elections to unearth other
inconsistencies therein. In a normal clime, the electoral umpire would have set
in motion verification modalities to avoid further national embarrassment and
expose Mr President.
“Come to think of it, a leader
that does not know his real age, could not be said, to have sound knowledge of
the people and country he governs, let alone knowing the peculiarities of the
governed. This is simply not the kind of president Nigeria needs at the
moments.
“Not too long ago, Nigeria became
laughing stock with the inappropriate designation of German Chancellor, Angela
Merkel as President of West Germany by President Buhari.
“We recall President Buhari once
admitted that his age would slow down his performance in office. For a country
that could fall into an emergency situation anytime, like the present
government-failing induced fuel scarcity, we don’t need a president that
forgets things easily.
“We advise Mr. President to consider
turning in his resignation letter to avoid further slowing down the country
because of his age, and to also safe our corporate image as a country that had
a Presidential with “occasional memory failure”.

We need sound opposition on policies not on the president as a person. Nigerians will not vote your party because you can insult the personality of the president. That APC style of opposition has as well gone for good the way your PDP style of corruption and election rigging has also gone for good.
