The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has said the Nigerian youths are prepared to vote out President Muhammadu
Buhari in 2019.
PDP made the remark while
dismissing what it termed the, “image rescue effort” by Buhari before Moroccan
Prime Minister, Saadeddine Othman, as a poorly packaged deception to “sugarcoat
his deep-seated disdain for Nigerian youths.”
The former ruling party recalled
that Buhari had during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM),
described some Nigerian youths as lazy.
However, the President during his
recent trip to Morroco, was full of praises for Nigerian youths.
But, in a statement by the PDP
spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, Nigerians will not be deceived by the
President’s antics.
The statement reads, “Buhari’s
sudden praise-singing for Nigerian youth in far away Morocco is only a
desperate afterthought aimed to reverse the public opprobrium he earned himself
for his “lazy youths and lovers of freebies” comment, and not borne out of
genuine regard for our youths.”
The statement further said that,
“Unfortunately for Mr President, our youths now know better and can no longer
fall for his tricks.
“Every Nigerian is aware of
President Buhari’s disdain for our citizens and see his reported comments in
Morocco as inconsistent with his known beliefs and dispositions.
“Nigerians recall that in a most
recent gaffe, Mr President described the members of our National Assembly as
idle and unproductive just as he dismissed our youths as unfit to run for
Presidency in 2019, even while signing the “Not Too Young To Run” bill into an
Act.
“Perhaps, this explains why his
handlers resorted to a heavily edited press statement on the Morocco visit.
“President Buhari should know
that a visit to Moroccan Prime Minister cannot wash away the disgraceful
invectives he openly poured on the energetic and vivacious Nigerian youths at
the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), where most of the world
leaders were present.
“He would need another CHOGM in
London to remove his lazy and lover of freebies stamp on our youths.
“The PDP is aware of the
desperate bid by President Buhari to stop at nothing to beguile the citizens
once again that election is around the corner.
“However, it is important to
inform him that Nigerians now know his true colours and will reject any design
to take them on a second ride to nowhere.
“President Buhari should, therefore, end his
gimmicks and let go of straws. He should amply come to terms with the fact that
the only expectation Nigerians require of him is to render a direct apology for
his abysmal performance and get prepared to leave the stage for a more
innovative, and people-oriented President which Nigerians will elect on the
platform of the PDP, come 2019.”
