Where is Buhari and Osinbajo? they should come out or Resign! – Adeyanju

Deji Adeyanju, Convener of pro-democracy group has called on President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo to come out of hiding and lead from the front in the fight against Coronavirus or Resign.

In a press statement, the activist asked “where is our President and Vice President, why are they hiding?

Adeyanju wrote; “The President needs to show leadership. Everyday we watch the American President, Donald Trump, addressing Americans and meeting with his cabinet on efforts being made to curtail the virus from spreading. This lackadaisical attitude of addressing Nigerians every two-week by President Muhammadu Buhari in such a time like this is totally unacceptable.

“The demise of the President’s Chief of Staff, Mr Abba Kyari, to COVID-19 should ordinarily be an eye opener for the President to see that he must act decisively and timely in order to contain this deadly virus.

“I am also tempted to ask, where are all the testing kits and equipment donated by Chinese billionaire, Jack ma? Why is Kano complaining of not having enough testing kits? And why are we not investigating the alleged mysterious deaths and secret burials happening in Kano?”

“This is not the time to be hiding under the bed in Aso Rock.

“Thousands of citizens will die if the President doesn’t show leadership.

“The president has not convened the Federal Executive Council meeting for weeks now. He should do that immediately either through Skype, teleconferencing or physically at the Villa to set our clear cut agendas to prevent more unavoidable deaths of Nigerians and spread of the virus.

“The President should not leave the country on auto pilot without clear direction or leadership.

“Currently, there is a leadership vacuum in Nigeria and it’s so sad that it’s the governors who are now rising to the occasion.

“The 36 state governors just agreed for a nationwide lockdown of the country since the Commander-in-Chief has absconded from his duties and responsibilities.

“Under our laws, the governors cannot lockdown the country but when the President is missing in action during a pandemic, then we must all commend the decisive actions of the governors no matter how unconstitutional the act may be.

“Conclusively, one must ask: where is our President and Vice President?”
