Get Serious With Governance, Instead Of Politics-PDP Attacks Buhari

PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan
Urged President Muhammadu Buhari to get serious with governance, instead of getting serious with politics.

Ologbondiyan stressed that President Buhari’s comments on the defection of Governor Dave Umahi to All Progressive Congress (APC) show how unserious the President is in his line of duty, noting that the President should get busy with the governance rather than all the Political scavenging he engaged himself in.

The PDP scribe noted that the presidency statement also exposes how the nation was brought to its knees as compelling demands of the office are made to suffer while the Presidency gloats over unserious and irrelevant issues.

PDP through its spokesperson maintained that President Buhari, through his action has shown that he has abandoned the responsibilities of his office at this critical time to focus on the personal partisan adventure of an individual, as a misplacement of energy, and authority, and trust of the entire Nigerians.

Ologbondiyan further expressed that the action has exposed Mr. President’s incompetence and poor understanding of the tenets of leadership, statesmanship, which are expectations of Nigerians from his office.

PDP said the action of President Buhari has clearly shown that President Buhari has no time for governance; completely out of sync with the social and political reality in our country and disconnected from the expectations of Nigerians on his office, particularly at this trying time.

The PDP, therefore, counseled President Buhari’s handlers to stop ridiculing his office by making him a butt of a joke in the public space, saying our party urges President Buhari to wake up and show more seriousness to the duties of his office instead of engaging in a personal political enterprise of individuals,” the party.

Ologbondiyan in his statement, stated further that the PDP holds as appalling that the Buhari Presidency is showing more urgency in commenting on political adventures rather than expressing concern on the reported kidnapping of 12 senior police officers by bandits.”

The party observed that if President Buhari had used the same urgency he displayed in commenting on Governor Umahi’s defection to address the issue of police brutality, the crisis situation, death, arson, destruction of public and private property witnessed in the aftermath of the endSARS protest would have been averted.

“Indeed, if Mr. President had shown similar urgency towards the demand for the rejigging of our national security architecture, we would have averted the escalated insurgency, kidnapping, and bloodletting ravaging our country today.

“In the same vein, if President Buhari had used the same urgency to respond to the call to reorganize his economic team, end the corruption in his government as well as address the frightening upsurge in unemployment under his watch, our nation would not be in this sorry state as the poverty capital of the world.
