The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday, March 1st, 2020 urged President Muhammadu Buhari to address Nigerians on how his administration is tackling the outbreak of coronavirus in the country.

The PDP issued a statement on Sunday via its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, stated that it was concerned at Buhari’s

delay in standing up to the responsibilities of his office to address heightening national anxieties since the detection of the deadly COVID-19 in the country.

The statement stated that a presidential address would have reassured Nigerian citizens, reinforced government direction and multi-sectoral intervention for concerted effort to contain the scourge of the epidemic.

The PDP charges President Buhari to wake up and treat the COVID-19, deservedly, as a looming national disaster, which requires a prompt and full Presidential involvement at the top level.

The PDP holds that the quickest expectation of the average Nigerians is that the Federal Government should immediately step its emergency response system to calm the pervading fear among Nigerians,

the party said.
