President Muhammadu Buhari
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to explain the last-minute cancellation of his scheduled medical trip to London after the media had reported he was due to depart the nation’s capital on Friday.
The PDP said its position is against the backdrop of “increasing international disapprovals to the escalated human right violations, constitutional breaches, clampdown on citizens, suppression of free speech and other excesses by the Buhari administration, for which there have been concerted demands for travel restrictions against officials of the Buhari Presidency.”
In a statement signed by its spokesman Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP said “while Mr. President is left to sort out whatever impediments or constraints that led to the sudden cancellation of his scheduled medical trip, our party urges him to use this period to have some introspection on the sorry situation in which his incompetent, divisive, vindictive and suppressive administration has pushed our nation into in the last six years.”
