Practice What You Preach - PDP To Buhari


The Akwa Ibom chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the President to practice what he preached during Late  Yar'adua's  administration


They wonder at the level of insincerity  surrounding his health challenges.

In a chat with Daily Sun,  the Akwa Ibom state PDP publicity secretary Ini Ememobong, asked President Buahri to show honour and integrity by exemplifying what he stated when Late Yar'adua was sick, they asked that he should honorably resign if his failing health can no longer permitted him to effectively function as president of Nigeria.

The party noted that Buhari had demanded same from late president Umar Musa Yar’Adua in 2009 when the latter took ill.

 Ememobong stated: “Much as I sympathize with Mr. President, it depends on the kind of illness. “If it is prolonged and it is obvious that he may not recover, the President should know what to do. There are different types of illnesses. “We have prolonged illnesses; we have brief illnesses. Incidentally, it is even brief illness that kills people more. “In the current circumstances, the President has admitted that he has never been this sick. “So, much as we sympathize with him, the President cannot be on sick leave forever.

“People who voted did not vote a sick President; or did not vote a President who should be on the sick bed forever. “We voted a President whom we expect should be active and work. In the circumstance, one of the conditions for someone who aspires to public office is that such a person should be fit in body and mind.

“Therefore if the President finds out that maybe, by reason of age or health complications, he is no longer capable or fit to govern Nigeria, then he can do what is honorable.

“He can do what he advised Yar’Adua to do or what he advised the federal executive council under Yar’Adua to do.”
