The Labour Party has expressed disappointment over the comment credited to President Muhammadu Buhari, that there is a limit to what he can do at the age of 72, describing it as “embarrassing to the country.”

This, the party noted, was particularly disheartening because the President made the declaration outside the country.

The party challenged the All Progressives Congress to come out clean with the true position on the President’s state of health.

The National Chairman of LP, Alhaji Abdukadir Abdulsalam, told journalists on Wednesday evening in Abuja that Buhari’s comment was a disappointment.

He said, “This is an expression of failure on his part because when he was campaigning, he gave us the impression that he was hale, healthy and not fragile, and had the capacity, ability and agility to carry out the functions of state as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“This is disappointing to us and Nigerians that before we started and get the whistle blown, Buhari has started to throw in the towel. I think both President Buhari and the APC should tell us the true situation. Is the age of Buhari or both the age and health that have become the problem?

“Two months ago, he was telling us he had the capacity to do it, now he is telling us he wish he was younger and that his age will impact on his performance and would not be able to do this job to the satisfaction of Nigerians. This also means Nigerians have been deceived with the concept of change; the statement means we should not be expecting the change they promised as change goes with dynamism, ability to perform, with political willingness and commitment. But if he is complaining now less than a month, where do we go from here?”

When asked if it was not enough that Buhari’s appointees would also play key roles in bringing about the change promised by the APC, Abdulsalam said former President Goodluck Jonathan took responsibility, adding that “no one blames his ministers and other appointees, since the buck stops and ends on his table as the leader.”

“President Barack Obama takes charge and responsibility for whatever happens to America; the same thing for David Cameron in Britain. All presidents take responsibility for whatever happens. President Buhari and the APC should tell us now before it is too late on what is happening to our President, Baba Buhari,” the LP chairman stressed.

My guy see how you wan take destroy the guy destiny...

Common Old wine.

Truly at his age there is a limit to what he can see. He did not clearly see what he was getting into as president.
From his demeanour since inauguration, credence is being laid to the fact that he did not fully understand the nature of the task that was before him.

But unfortunately, it is too late to give any excuse. The die is already cast. He has to carry out his duty as president to full capacity.

All we be well

lol death is inevitable, it all depends on circumstances that surround your death. I sure know that I can never drink ota pia-pia like the man from okene.

D Buhari na big old cow
Buh wen he dhe campaign like 40 years old, he don enter he kan remember his real age
I see no "change"
All I see is deception and lies everywhere

There are something you don't come out to say, when he was busy campaigning up and down he never knew his age would restrict him

Or was he not aware of the challenge ahead When fayose lambasted him about his age nigerians came to his defense, is fayose not been vindicated now

I just hope we are not in for 4years of excuses...SMH

the man matter don tire person ooo

That was an expression of incapacitation by our President.

My advise is that he will induct his deputy into his doctrine properly so the later will close the gap for him much the same way Idiagbon did which he took the glory.

OR else he do the needful - resign honorably.
