The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has likened the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to a bull in a China shop.
This, according to the group, is clear from the party’s constant thoughtless, knee-jerk reaction to every single action of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government.
In a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke, BMO said PDP had been acting in the most irresponsible and reckless manner since the Covid-19 outbreak
It described PDP’s statement criticising President Muhammadu Buhari’s nationwide address as a rehash of a similar one that earned the party a rebuke from well-meaning Nigerians who were tired of its constant bid to politicise a global health crisis.
BMO added that it was surprising that the same individuals that were against a lockdown of the epicentre of Covid-19 in Nigeria were also criticising the decision to reopen the states in phases with what it said were flimsy and pointless arguments.
The group, however, noted that the federal government had since February been taking steps to mitigate the adverse effects of the pandemic on the country. It also urged residents of Kano State not to see the President’s decision to impose a fresh two-week lockdown on the State as a punishment, but to view it as a necessary step to avert a catastrophe, as well as get to the root of mystery deaths in Nigeria’s most densely populated state.
