of course, with<br \/>\nfunds meant for the wellbeing of the people and our nation.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, this President Buhari-led and discredited APC-controlled Federal<br \/>\nGovernment holds Nigerians in total disdain.<\/p>\n<p>This administration is completely insensitive to the plight of the<br \/>\npeople and it is not a surprise that majority of Nigerians are more than<br \/>\nprepared to reject them at the polls come 2019.<\/p>\n<p>We therefore plead with President Buhari to show leadership by<br \/>\nimmediately calling off his feasting in the Presidential Villa and take<br \/>\nthat bold step to visit Dapchi, where a soothing word from him will be a<br \/>\nbalm for the distraught community.<\/p>\n<p>We also urge him to take decisive steps to scale up action for the<br \/>\nreturn of our girls in spite of the huge speculations that has filled<br \/>\nthe air.<\/p>\n<p>The President must keep his words to lead from the fronts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\">\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to halt the feasting with the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains in Aso Villa and show leadership by visiting the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61023,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mr President Sir, Go to Dapchi!
