The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s medical trip abroad when the country he leads is in crisis, \u201cunderscores the insensitivity\u201d of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
PDP said Buhari\u2019s trip to London despite the challenges bewildering Nigeria has indicated that the \u201cAPC administration is now on autopilot with its central command structure in disarray\u201d.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
President Buhari had departed Abuja for London on Tuesday for routine medical checks that will last for a maximum of two weeks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, the main opposition party, while reacting to the development via a statement signed by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, on Thursday, said Buhari ought to have made himself available in the country and provide leadership to address the agitations by striking university lecturers and other challenges.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The statement read: \u201cThe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) charges Nigerians to brace up and support one another in the face of abandonment by the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration as all critical indicators show that the APC has abdicated its constitutional duty to guarantee the security and welfare of the people.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe prevailing chaotic situation in the country with widespread uncertainties, unabating fuel crisis, piercing economic hardship, sectional agitations, heated industrial unrests, infrastructural stagnation, kidnapping, daily bloodletting and escalated insecurity with gangsters now taking over the streets of major cities further confirms that the APC administration is now on autopilot with its central command structure in disarray.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe decision by President Muhammadu Buhari to jet out to the United Kingdom (where leaders are committed) for yet another \u2018routine medical check-up\u2019 after his administration has wrecked our healthcare system and when the nation which he leads is in crisis, underscores the insensitivity of the APC which by nature and outlook has never been ready for governance since inception.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWhile other world leaders are solving problems in their countries, President Buhari, who promised to fix our refineries, abandoned Nigerians to the excruciating fuel crisis caused by the corruption perpetrated by APC leaders in the helm of affairs in the petroleum sector, which has now crippled economic activities in the country.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cNigerians will recall that after being exposed for importing contaminated fuel with consequential damage to vehicles, machineries and businesses, the APC government had promised to fix the situation. Sadly, several weeks after, the APC Federal Government had failed in its promise as always like in every other aspect of our national life.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWith the corruption and abdication of duty by the APC, our nation is now at the mercy of black-market vendors who charge already overburdened Nigerians as high as N500 per liter of fuel; a development that has resulted in spiral increase in transport fares, costs of food, medicines and other essential commodities.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The PDP added: \u201cThis is in addition to the collapse of many businesses, massive loss of jobs, hunger and starvation, sudden death of bread winners with grave economic pressure on millions of families and attendant social consequences to our country.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBy travelling out of the country at the time Nigerians expect him to make himself available and provide leadership to address the agitations by striking university lecturers, President Buhari further exposes APC\u2019s lack of commitment towards the wellbeing and development of Nigerians youths.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThis is in tandem with APC\u2019s sustained disdain for the Nigerian youths whom the President derided as \u201cLazy Youths\u201d in a foreign country. It further explains why the APC was unperturbed when its government massacred innocent and helpless Nigerian youths who were merely exercising their constitutional fundamental human right of peaceful protest during the EndSARS protest of October 2020.<\/div>\n
\u201cOur party is concerned that the insensitivity and utter disregard of the APC and its government for the feelings of the people have heightened tension in the country and if not checked could result in widespread restiveness and eventual breakdown of law and order.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIt is clear that the APC has come to the end of the road in governance and has nothing else to offer Nigerians.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The major opposition party, therefore, urged Nigerians to \u201cremain steadfast and hopeful as our party press forward in its mission to Rescue and Rebuild our country\u201d.<\/div>\n
