Buhari's speech is disappointing- PDP says

The Peoples Democratic Party has described President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) speech as disappointing.

The party expressed sadness that Mr President again failed to show leadership and displayed total lack of touch with reality without offering any palliatives to the ordinary Nigerians as they face hunger and economic pangs of the lockdown.

"It is more painful that President Buhari could not address the immediate needs of the people or provide a trajectory that will take care of their future.

"Instead, Mr President bored our nation with a rehash of global data already known to Nigerians in addition to promises that are far-flung departures from the harsh realities on the ground," the party said in a statement

Feeling disappointed, the opposition party expected Mr President to directly address the established failures of his palliatives distribution, particularly the provision of funds to the poorest of the poor, which has been marred by allegations of corruption and diversion of funds.

Recall that Buhari extended the lockdown in Lagos, Ogun, Abuja for an extra 14 days.

Speaking about the decision today, the President noted that it was a very important and well-thought decision.
