President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari’s 10-day holiday trip to London has continued to generate reactions from Nigerians.
The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo will take over as acting President while Buhari is away.
However, Some Nigerians in reaction took to social media to
criticise the President for travelling outside the country when the
country is faced with security challenges and amid defections saga.
They queried why the President cannot spend his holiday somewhere
in the country, calling on his aides to disclose if he is sick.
Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST:
@Ibukumayomide8 “Just tell us he’s sick again and wants to proceed
for his routine medical check in the UK with taxpayers money as usual.
The amount that wouldn’t be revealed to the taxpayers, just despite all
his empty promises. I remember him saying he’ll not seek medical
attention abroad.Lies”
@Amen_i_r “Must he travel outside the country for holiday, why
can’t he promote Nigeria tourism by going to places like Obudu Mountain
Resort?
@SunnieOguns “No mind dem.. we all know say na London hin hospital
and doctors dey.. Lair Mohamed will soon come and throw more lights on
the matter.”
@OlusegunAndr1 “The long break is very necessary especially when
defections are flying all over. Malam Shehu Garba…..when are you
resigning your position to join the PDP?
@Talktonnamadi “It is not auspicious for the President to proceed
on holidays when APC ‘s house is on fire. Is this a “tactical
withdrawal”? It is expected that Buhari should stem the tide of the
ongoing implosion in APC before embracing the pleasure of a vacation.”
@Okorocollins11 “Chaiii… Baba Buhari, there is a fire in your house and you’re running to London. Hmm.”
@Lordsancity “How many days is he entitled to and how many has he
used this year? I would have preferred him staying somewhere in the
country for his holidays just to promote local content. But if our
leaders don’t show the way, who would? So who is Obudu, Yankari, etc
meant for?
@1verich “Why not step down for Osinbanjo; it will change the dynamics. Perhaps save APC from a disgraceful defeat.”
@doughlas_mytch “Holiday? Not now.. Not at this critical stage of
anarchy, insecurity and economic misfortunes in the nation..A Nelson
Mandela wouldn’t, A Trump will never do this, A Putin wouldn’t, a Robert
Mugabe wouldn’t, what is wrong with your government sir. Are you guys
confused?
@DanielDisu1 “His stay at home and holidaying have been
inconsequential to the qualitative lives and wellbeing of Nigerians.
What is he really governing on top? Chaos and mass destructions of lives
and properties.Good riddance to bad rubbish.”
@Egwuogodwin “He has destroyed APC and he is running away for
condolence Osinbajo to fix the damages the way he does it with his magic
but this time his absence will encourage more defection.”
@Ituaterry “Nigerians need a healthy president come 2019…very
difficult for the presidency to admit that Buhari is going to see his UK
doctor rather you guys tie to vacation… Nigerians are tired of deceit,
intimidation, killings and hardship by this government.”
@Hayourtheyji “Why can’t this man promote Nigeria vacation and
tourism sector? At least there are good and beautiful hotels and places
to enjoy in Nigeria. Instead of flying and wasting millions of Naira on
vacation in London.”
