PDP said the decision of the presidency to make Buhari’s trip to London a secret was unconstitutional.
A statement by PDP’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan challenged Buhari’s handlers to tell Nigerians the truth. PDP said the presidency should always disclose the president’s itinerary because his trips are funded by the country.
The statement reads in parts, “The PDP invites Nigerians to note that President Buhari left the United States 48 hours ago and embarked on an unofficial visit to United Kingdom for undisclosed reasons without transmitting a letter to the National Assembly. This is impunity and another constitutional breach. President Buhari had on Tuesday left the United States, where he had an embarrassing and fruitless outing and instead of returning to the country, detoured to the UK for another private visit without regard to full disclosure requirements of our constitution and laws.
The Presidency must understand that President Buhari is not a private citizen and as long as his upkeep and itinerary is sourced from our hard-earned resources, there must be full disclosure, as citizens deserve to know the purpose of the visit and the cost to our nation.
This is especially as President Buhari’s foreign trips, which come at great costs, have not brought any gains to our country. Instead, the President has continued to de-market our nation in the international arena. The just concluded the Commonwealth Head of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in London, where he cast aspersion at our enterprising youths and failed to return with any dividend readily comes to mind.
The PDP therefore urges President Buhari’s handlers to adequately prepare him before international outings as well as ensure full disclosure on all his visits outside the country, since he embodies the image and integrity of our nation, until May 29, 2019.”

ReplyDeleteShut up PDP! Y'all are no better! APC PDP and the rest y'all are the readon why the country has been regressing since indepence, y'all have had your fair share of governance and nothing good has come out of it! Last time PDP was in power we know how mighty of an entourage the President used to fly around... what did we gain from it?
ReplyDeleteSave us the B.S, out of being optimistic I'm certain Nigeria will remain the same when PDP takes on power?!
PDP stop inciting us against APC, wait for your turn to toy with us as usual. God must punish everyone who had the chance to change our faith in this country but failed!

Ms Flakes, don't let your hatred blind you! Borrow some sense... Take the message and leave the messenger. There are very salient points in the PDP statement.
DeleteWell said! I remember when Obasanjo was president in ‘99, He was nicknamed “the flying president “ because of his extremely frequent foreign travels. What did those travels bring to the country.. PDP should shush it! They had 16 years from 1999 to 2015 and what did they do with it besides plundering our resources..
DeleteThe guy went to charge the battery he is wearing under that his garment,we all know this,we are even use to it. PDP should OT force him to accept it.
