In a statement issued in Lagos on Wednesday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said if the authors of the
statement had understood simple English, taken the pains to engage in
deep thinking and contextualized the comments, they would not have
rushed to the press to ask the President to resign.
Buhari had in South Africa stated that there are certain things he cannot do given his age. Buhari is 72 years old.
Mohammed, reacting to call for Buhari’s resignation, he said:
“What President Buhari was saying, which was lost on those who issued that jejune statement, is that only his love and passion for the country could have made him, at his age, to come out of retirement to seek the office of President, over 30 years after he presided over the affairs of the country.
The APC argued that within three weeks of his inauguration, President Buhari has succeeded in returning Nigeria to the community of nations, to such an extent that world leaders are now so eager to engage him on how to assist his country in key areas, including security and the fight against corruption.
”For 16 years, Nigerians gave the PDP the benefit of the doubt to move the country forward, but instead, the party put Nigeria in reverse gear at a high speed, spinning it towards a doomsday that was only averted when Nigerians showed the PDP the red card. This is what necessitated President Buhari to continuously seek the country’s
highest political office, so he can help put the country on a forward march again. Nothing else matters, not for him the excitement of an office he previously held and the quest for personal accomplishment.
“If the country had been well managed, President Buhari will not at 72 be criss-crossing the whole world seeking solutions to Nigeria’s problems”.
