Why Buhari Cannot Visit Kano, APC Chides PDP

By GWG Staff

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Sunday night slammed the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for trying to rubbish what it described as the commendable efforts of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration in tackling the scourge of Covid-19 pandemic currently ravaging the world.

“This is yet another infantile and desperate attempt by the opposition party to play petty politics with a serious matter of national and international importance,” the APC said in a statement issued by its spokesman, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu in reference to the PDP’s earlier rebuke of the Buhari’s posture on the deaths in Kano.

The APC in the statement stoutly rebuffed the PDP’s invitation to visit Kano saying it was an invitation to anarchy for the president to visit the state.

Rebuffing the claims of the opposition party, the APC said:

“Shockingly, while all well-meaning organisations, home and abroad, and individuals are putting in positive shifts to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has rather chosen to dance on the graves of the unfortunate Nigerians that have been killed by the disease.

On the invitation to the president to visit Kano, the APC said:

“To make the matter worse, quite unfortunately, the PDP is asking President Buhari to embark on a state visit to Kano.

“The opposition party believes that there should be a Presidential movement to anywhere in this country at this period, least of a densely populated city like Kano. Have they suddenly forgotten what it means to have the President visit Kano State at a period like this that requires social distancing and when much of the country is under a lockdown order?

“We urge the PDP to come clean on why it is asking the President to embark on a state visit now.

“Nigerians should ask PDP if it is praying that the whole of Kano and, indeed, Nigeria be swarming with Corvid-19 cases and corpses in order to fit into its known and unpatriotic wishes against our beloved country.”
