PDP to Buhari: Save Nigeria from imminent collapse

 

Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to listen to advice of eminent Nigerians against allowing the nation collapse under his watch.

 

PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, regretted the presidency is worsening the situation by choosing to haul insults on former President Olusegun Obasanjo and other well-meaning leaders, who are calling on “his administration to end its divisive, suppressive and insensitive style of leadership that has ruined our nation.”
