The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has revealed that President Buhari has no justification for deploying the nation’s resources to travel to far-away London, for the Global Education Summit on Financing Global Partnership for Education (GPE) 2021-2025, when the meeting is scheduled to be virtual.
The nation’s major opposition party who made this disclosure in a release signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan stated that it is atrocious that Mr. President is more interested in going to London for a virtual education summit when hundreds of students, who ought to be beneficiaries of the meeting, are languishing in kidnappers’ dens, with the Buhari administration taking no concrete steps to rescue them and end incessant abduction of students in Nigeria, lamenting that history will never be kind with President Buhari, as he has always wished, if he continues in his manner of thinking only about his needs at the expense of the generality of Nigerians.
According to the release, the PDP exposed the Buhari Presidency for trying to hide his private appointment with his doctors in London under the cover of the virtual meeting apparently in a bid to launder his consistent failure to honour his pre-2015 campaign promise not to embark on medical tourism if elected President. The party insists that his medical checkup could have been done at home, if his administration had not wrecked our healthcare system.
“Mr. President’s action has confirmed the standby majority of Nigerians that he is wasteful, thinks only about himself and cares less about millions of our citizens, who do not have access to foreign medical treatment, but who are dying on daily basis because the Buhari administration has crippled our health sector.
“It is disheartening that while Mr. President is spending taxpayers’ money relishing the expertise of London doctors and the luxury of medical facilities in that country, millions of Nigerians are dying in decrepit medical facilities at home.
The party however urged Nigerian not to resign to despondency in the face of such incompetent, selfish and insensitive Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration, but to remain resilient in rallying on the platform of the PDP to rescue our nation from misrule.
