Senator Walid Jubril, the Chairman, Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BOT), has said the party was willing
to visit and sympathise with President Muhammadu Buhari in London.
But the ruling All Progressives Congress
(APC) says PDP leaders are being “unnecessary overzealous” and urged them to
allow the president enjoy his leave as he prepares to return soon.
Jubril, who denied that the party promoted
the rumored death of the president, said that the PDP was rather praying
fervently for Buhari’s safe return to Nigeria.
“Let him be well and come back and continue
with his leadership of Nigeria.
“If we are to be given the opportunity, the
PDP leaders will even go to London to wish him well and sympathize with his
family,” he said in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Kaduna.
But the National Secretary of the APC, Alhaji
Mai Mala Buni, said the PDP leaders were “too late to have expressed their
willingness to visit the president at this material time.”
According to Buni, “Why do they want to go to
London now when the president is about coming back? Why do they want to
encroach on his privacy at the place he is resting after he has handed over to
his deputy, who is acting as president and doing all what is expected by
Nigerians? The PDP should please face its internal wrangling,” he said.
The BOT chairman, also spoke on the lingering
crisis in the party, saying that “the PDP will never die”.
According to him, the party was making
efforts to end the lingering crisis facing it and forge ahead.
