PDP Describes Buhari’s Covid-19 Nationwide Broadcast As Disappointing

The Peoples Democratic Party has faulted President BUHARI’s nationwide broadcast on COVID-19 where he announced 14-day extension of lockdown in the FCT, Lagos and Ogun states.

In a statement issued by its Spokesman, KOLA OLOGBONDIYAN, the opposition party said the presidential speech is very disappointing.

OLOGBONDIYAN accused the President of failing to show leadership, thus failing to give any hope on palliatives to the ordinary Nigerians.

He said it is more painful that the President could not address the immediate needs of the people or provide a trajectory that will take care of their future in the face of COVID-19 pandemic.

Reacting to the social intervention of the Federal Government, the PDP challenged the Federal Government to provide documents showing the beneficiaries of the 2.6million households.

Former Vice Presidential candidate of the party, PETER OBI also noted that the palliatives introduced are not reaching the vulnerable.
