The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the visit by APC governors to President Muhammadu Buhari in London as “an insult to Nigerians”.

In a statement by PDP spokesman, Prince Dayo Adeyeye on Monday, the party said the APC did not think it was right for the President to speak to Nigerians directly.

The party said:  “It is an insult to Nigerians because they don’t think that we are important; once they meet with the president that is all, and they will come and show us a picture.

“They don’t even think that it is necessary for the president to send message to Nigerians or for themselves to come and tell us what happened during that meeting. They merely planted pictures in the front pages of all the newspapers, and they think that is alright.

“That is not the way to behave in a civilised country. At least, ordinarily we should have been having daily bulletins on the president’s health, the man is being treated there in London with tax payers’ money, and we elected him to do a job.”

Adeyeye said the PDP wished the President well, stating that it was wrong for the APC leaders to visit the President and show Nigerians pictures.

“We wish him well, and we want him to live, but it is pure contempt for Nigerians for a group of people, party leaders to just go and meet the president and come and show us pictures without saying anything either from them or from the president to Nigerians. It is pure contempt; it is an insult to our collective intelligence,” he said.
