Princewill Chides Critics Of Buhari’s Russia Trip

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

A Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in Rivers State, Mr. Tonye Princewill has lambasted critics of President Muhammadu Buhari, who faulted the president’s visit to Russia (Sochi), saying that they were ignorant of world politics and trade.

Princewill noted that the thirteen areas agreed upon by the four countries invited for the meeting showed the president’s resolve to achieve the next level agenda.

In a statement he issued on Thursday, the APC chieftain said:

“Those who displayed their ignorance of how world trade and politics are played by going on record to say that Buhari need not go to Sochi but should instead stay at home and solve the problems of decades sitting back in the villa,  must now be hiding their collective heads in shame. To see and hear all  that Mr. President has achieved in Russia should impress even his harshest critics – if they have a conscience of course.”

According to him, Buhari’s visit to Russia was a diplomatic masterpiece and the president is not expected to stay in one location to maintain good relationships with other countries, saying that those who claimed the president should have ignored the invitation are ignorant of the duties of a president.

He noted that, “As I scrolled down the 13 different agreements that were reached, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of pride at the amount of effort and teamwork that must have preceded the visit and the different areas of the country and the economy impacted by them. My single biggest emotion though was relief.

“Because of the top three priorities we need as a country which are Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. I see millions of jobs from this visit alone. But as with so many agreements, meetings, summits and presidential visits, follow up is key. With a new cabinet that has results to deliver and a more collaborative legislature, however, I see few challenges to a positive outcome.”
