The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described Monday’s
COVID-19 Pandemic speech by President Muhammadu Buhari as very disappointing.
PDP said the speech, just like the pre-recorded broadcast of
March 29, 2020, failed to address salient issues of urgent concerns to
Nigerians in their daily struggle against the spread of the plague in the
country.
President Buhari, in a nationwide address, had extended the
lockdown in a bid to further tackle the spread of Coronavirus, also known as
COVID-19.
However, a statement by PDP’s spokesperson, Kola
Ologbondiyan said: “It is more painful that President Buhari could not address
the immediate needs of the people or provide a trajectory that will take care
of their future.
“Instead, Mr. President bored our nation with a rehash of
global data already known to Nigerians in addition to promises that are
far-flung departures from the harsh realities on the ground.
“Already, there are serious agitations and unrests in Lagos,
Ogun and some parts of the FCT where Nigerians, who earn their means of
livelihood on daily basis and who have been locked out from their means of
subsistence and can no longer withstand the pangs of hunger, are becoming
restless.
“Our party still believes that Mr. President needs to quickly
retool his approach and adopt an all-encompassing model that will take care of
the hunger and deprivations, which this lockdown has imposed on Nigerians.”
