Group Calls For Buhari's Resignation Over Old Age Comments

The PDP Media Watchdog has reacted to the statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari, declaring and admitting that his age will affect his performance rate as President of Nigeria.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by Tunde Lawal on behalf of the group, the 72-year-old Duara farmer was urged to resign from office since he admitted that he might not be too strong enough to lead the country when the heat is on.

The PDP Media Watchdog said, “The PDP is again vindicated by this confession from President Muhammadu Buhari and many more that are yet to come.”

“Nigerians will recall that during the presidential campaigns, the PDP and other well meaning Nigerians complained on the choice of sponsoring Pa Muhammadu Buhari as Presidential Candidate of APC and the effect it will have on the country when it comes to managing the affairs of a multi dimensional nation like Nigeria, but the APC and its leaders said that age is just a number,” it added.

Furthermore, the group said, “It is barely three weeks into the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and his age is already telling on him.”

“So, what will happen to Nigeria in the remaining 1,440 days of this government?” it queried.

“It is better to find a black goat in the day time rather than looking for it in the night and this is why we are asking President Buhari to resign now because Nigerians will not entertain further excuses of why the APC cannot deliver on their campaign promises,” the group submitted.

According to the statement, “Nigerians saw this all along during the campaigns but could not resist the broom stick voodoo that the APC used to hypnotize the people.

“Nigerians will also recall that this same Pa Buhari could not remember the complete name of his vice presidential candidate and even the full name of his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) under which platform he was contesting and instead referred to it as the All Progressive Confidence during the campaigns. How long will a nation like Nigeria, the giant of Africa remained under this hypnosis of the APC.”

The group called on Nigerians to wake up to the challenge and resist what it described as  ‘daylight robbery and blackmail of the APC’ and demand the immediate resignation of Buhari and call for another election to elect another President to lead Nigeria.
