The Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s nationwide
speech as appalling.
PDP insisted that
Buhari failed to offer solutions to the COVID-19 challenge facing Nigerians.
In a statement
signed by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the former ruling party
expressed disappointment that Buhari failed to offer post lockdown stimulus to
Nigerians in the private sector.
According to the
statement: “The PDP is appalled that President Buhari, in his Monday’s COVID-19
address, again, failed to offer decisive solutions to protect Nigerians from
the deadly pandemic.
“We express
disappointment that President Buhari did not offer any post lockdown stimulus
to assist Nigerians in the private sector whose businesses had been crippled by
the lockdown and are now faced with the burden of workers’ salaries and
business refinancing.”
PDP lamented that
“apart from the elementary lockdown and failed palliative showboating,
President Buhari did not offer a decisive solution regarding the production of
drugs, testing kits and management of equipment to safeguard Nigerians, despite
the huge resources at the disposal of his administration.”
The party further
described as saddening that “Buhari did not address the demands by Nigerians to
end his administration’s political parochialism and engage competent hands,
including indigenous researchers, equipment manufacturers, pharmaceutical,
medical as well as virology experts to infuse home grown therapeutic solutions
in the overall effort.”
The party insisted
that had Buhari heeded this demand by Nigerians at the onset of the pandemic,
the situation would not have escalated to this frightening level with no
solution in sight.
