Buhari’s 90TH DAY IN UK: Osinbajo can’t perform fully, PDP laments

The opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has lamented that though Prof Yemi Osinbajo bears the title of Acting President, he cannot fully perform the functions of the president.

The party in a set of tweets on Sunday lamented that the medical vacation of President Muhammadu Buhari, which entered its 90th day on Sunday, is hampering governance in the country.

The party also again demanded that. Nigerians have to be told the true state of the health of the president, for the sake of the nation’s democracy.

The party tweeted: “Today, August 5, 2017 is exactly 90 days since @Mbuhari left Nigeria to the U.K. On medical vacation. @Mbuhari left on May 7, 2017

“His protracted medical vacation is hampering governance as @ProfOsinbajo has not been able to carry out all the functions of the President

“For the sake of Nigeria’s democracy and posterity, we again demand to know the true state of President Buhari’s health challenges

“Nigeria belongs to all of us and we must work together to protect this country and our hard earned democracy.”

It would be recalled that a number of governors, from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition PDP, had paid a visit to the president in London, and said that he was recovering, and in better health.

There were also claims that he would soon be back in the country, though no one, either from the presidency, of among the governors, would be specific on when he would return to the country.
