The
group from The People’s Democratic Party Media Watchdog (PDPMW) has called for
the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari in response to his admission that
his age will limit his performance.
In a statement obtained by Nigerian Bulletin,
the PDP decried Buhari’s statement. The statement that was discharged by its head Tunde Lawal.
He
said that; Nigerians will recall that during the presidential campaigns, the
PDP and other well-meaning Nigerians complained on the choice of sponsoring Pa.
Muhammadu Buhari as Presidential Candidate of APC and the effect it will have
on the country when it comes to managing the affairs of a multi-dimensional
nation like Nigeria, but the APC and its leaders said that age is just a
number.
According
to the group, “All they have done since May 29th is that Pa. Buhari and the APC
has hit the ground sitting instead of running as they promised.”
“It’s barely three weeks into the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and his age is already telling on
him, so, what will happen to Nigeria in the remaining 1,440 days of this
government. It’s better to find a black goat in the day time rather than
looking for it in the night and this is why we are asking President Buhari to
resign now because Nigerians will not entertain further excuses of why the APC
cannot deliver on their campaign promises”. the group stated.
The
group gave an example of how President Buhari’s age is affecting his
performance when he referred to the President of Germany as President of West
Germany.
“Nigerians
saw this all along during the campaigns but could not resist the broom stick
voodoo that the APC used to hypnotize the people. Nigerians will also recall
that this same Pa. Buhari could not remember the complete name of His vice
Presidential Candidate and even the full name of his party, the All Progressive
Congress (APC) under which platform he was contesting and instead referred to
it as the All Progressive Confidence during the campaigns. How long will a
nation like Nigeria, the giant of Africa remained under this hypnosis of the
APC” the group queried.
The
cluster finally urged Nigerians to come to life to the challenge and demand the
immediate resignation of Buhari, adding that the individuals ought to entail
another election to elect an additional competent and spirited Nigerian to
guide the course of propagated change.
