Peoples Democratic Party has advised Nigerians not to emulate President Muhammadu Buhari by violating COVID-19 protocols.
The main opposition party stated this in a statement titled, “PDP Expresses Dismay By Buhari’s Violation of COVID-19 Law…Charges Nigerians Not to Follow Such Examples,” and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja, on Sunday.
PDP described the president’s reported violation of his own executive regulation on COVID-19, which provides for 6-months jail term for defaulters, as a “huge national embarrassment.”
According to Ologbondiyan, “It is a huge national embarrassment and gross failure of leadership that President Buhari, who ought to lead by example, is being reported of publicly violating the COVID-19 regulation, which he signed just five days ago.
“Such disregard to law and rules, which have characterized the Buhari Presidency and the APC, is largely responsible for the failure of leadership under the Buhari-led APC administration in the last five years.”
