The Personal Assistant to the President on Social Media, Lauretta
Onochie, has described the call on President Muhammadu Buhari to
disclose his health status and resume or resign as disrespectful and
insensitive.
She stated this when she appeared on Channels Televisions’ Politics Today on Monday.
Onochie, said President Buhari’s absence had not affected governance in Nigeria because he handed over to his vice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, in accordance with the law.
“It is very insensitive of anyone to begin to call on someone who is unwell to resume. Governance is going on, the role of the President is that of coordination; governance is a collective duty. When he (Buhari) was leaving, power was fully transferred to the Vice President and today, we have an Acting President,” she said.
“I have no idea why anybody would disrespect another by asking for the details of their health status. As we speak, we have an Acting President; President Buhari seems to be a private citizen at the moment; it is very disrespectful for anyone to ask for his health status,” she added.
Onochie argued that President Buhari has violated any constitutional provision and that the Presidency is under no pressure.
Onochie comments came hours after Concerned Nigerians, a coalition of youth groups, protested in Abuja, demanding that the President should resume or resign.
