Buhari Has No Nigeria Agenda At UN Assembly – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of going on a jamboree to the United Nation’s General Assembly, UNGA, saying the president did not prepare any proposals to market the country before the world gathering.

The PDP in a statement issued on Sunday lamented that whereas other countries prepare well coordinated national agenda to present to the august gathering that Nigeria appears not to be similarly inclined.

The PDP’s statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondinyan said:

“Is it not lamentable that while other leaders are heading to the meeting with well-articulated national proposals that will boost their nations’ competitiveness on international engagements, the Buhari Presidency is going empty with zero capacity to engage; a clear signal that it will equally return empty?”

“The sad effect of such leadership failure is worsened by the acceptability issues trailing the February Presidential election, for which the Buhari Presidency is largely lacking in confidence and poise to vigorously engage other world leaders on issues.

“In over four years of this administration, the Buhari Presidency has not been able to harness opportunities presented by such important events despite huge resources deployed for attendance.

“The PDP painfully recalls how, earlier this month, President Buhari returned empty from the 7th Tokyo International Conference on African Development,_TICAD7, at the same time his Ghanaian counterpart, Nana Akufo-Ado, sealed a deal with automobile giant, Toyota, to establish a Toyota and Suzuki manufacturing plant in Ghana.

“Nevertheless, since Mr. President is appearing before the UNGA, the PDP tasks him to use the opportunity to address world leaders on the reports by the European Union, EU, African Union, AU, and other international bodies, detailing heavy manipulations and outright rigging of the 2019 general elections to favour him and his party.

“Our party also urges Mr. President to address the world on reported issues of violations of human rights, disregard for the rule of law and constitutional order, disobedience to court orders, arbitrary arrest and detention of citizens, extra-judicial killings, impunity and swelling corruption under his watch. 

“The PDP also insists that President Buhari should address the world on the UN Rapporteur’s report as well as issues of violent division, escalated banditry, bloodletting and general insecurity in our dear nation under his woeful administration.

“In the same vein, the PDP demands that Mr. President addresses the world on how his administration wrecked our once robust economy from a prosperous nation to the world poverty capital in a space of four years. 

“The PDP states that these are facts known to all and for which the world is demanding answers from the Buhari Presidency.”
