Peoples Democratic Party has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to focus on fixing the problems facing Nigeria’s health sector and other sectors of the economy.
FirstNews had reported that the president aborted his medical trip to the United Kingdom which was earlier scheduled for Friday.
The President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Thursday disclosed that the President would on Friday proceed to London for “a scheduled medical follow-up.”
In another statement on Friday, the Presidency announced that the London trip had been postponed.
Reacting to this, the PDP said the president should think of fixing the health sector and other problems facing the country.
A statement by the party’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, read, “Our party urges President Buhari to use this period to reflect on the suffering of millions of Nigerians who do not have access to foreign medical treatment, but who are dying on daily basis because of his failure to pay attention to our healthcare system, which has become decrepit under his watch.
“In his consideration, Mr. President must also reflect on how he has wrecked our country’s once robust economy that was handed over to him in 2015 by the PDP, to the extent that Nigerians can no longer afford to feed because their purchasing power has become depressingly low while he (Mr. President) recedes further into the luxury and the safety of the Aso Rock Villa at the expense of the well-being of the ordinary citizens.”
