A former chieftain of the Peoples Democracy Party, PDP, Chief Sunbo Onitiri has explained why he visited President Muhammadu Buhari in London.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that Onitiri delivered a ‘quick recovery’ letter to the President in Abuja House in London, United Kingdom on May 29th (Democracy Day).
However, following the controversies that greeted the visit, the former opposition party chieftain has cleared the air on the motive of the visit.
Onitiri explained that apart from wishing the president a quick recovery, the main thrust of his letter and visit was to address some of the challenges bedeviling the nation.
He noted further that since the president’s assumption on May 29th 2015, the economy has dwindled backwards and the masses are especially affected by paying through their nose to get even the smallest commodity in the market.
He said kidnapping, indiscriminate killing and corruption had reached its peak and it was time the president acted before the nation hits the rocks.
Onitiri noted that contrary to what was widely spread especially on social media; his visit to the president wasn’t for selfish and or ulterior motives.
In his words: “The main objective of the visit was to give our President the true and correct feelings of Nigerians. With his two year administration, Nigerians are yet to enjoy dividends of democracy, the economy is worse off, prices of essential stuff are out of the reach of poor masses; insecurity has increased, there is more kidnapping, cultish and ritual killings; corruption has reached the roof with our economy in the firm grip of very few people who are richer than the country”.
He said his quest for good governance dates back to the military junta, especially during the struggle for democracy and the actualization of June 12 president elections whchi was annulled by Military President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida in 1993.
