A group within Nigeria’s opposition party, Peoples
Democratic Party, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign since he said
there is a limit to what he can do at age 72.
“How I wish I became Head of State when I was a governor,
just a few years as a young man. Now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do,”
Mr Buhari said while addressing Nigerians in South Africa on Tuesday.
The group, in a statement signed by its head, Tunde Lawal,
said the APC and President Buhari are gang of hypocrites and liars.
“The PDP is again vindicated by this confession from
President Muhammadu Buhari and many more that are yet to come.
“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”.
“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 said.
The group cited another mistake of the President – when he
referred to the President of Germany as President of West Germany, and blamed
it on the President’s age.
“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 remain
under this hypnosis of the APC,” the group queried
