Reacting shortly after the joint briefing by both leaders, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Monday bemoaned the performance of the Nigerian president during the meeting with his U.S. counterpart, describing it as embarrassing and disturbing.

The party lamented that Buhari completely failed to project the economic interests of the country before the American government and the world.

A statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan said it was alarming that Buhari buckled during the bilateral negotiations and failed to address the issue of the drop in U.S. purchase of Nigeria’s crude oil, saying it is the main stay of the Nigerian economy.

“Nigerians and the business community were aghast when President Buhari could not market our crude oil to his American counterpart even when in the course of the question and answer session, a leeway was provided for him, he off-handedly declared that he cannot ‘tell America what to do’,” the party said.

PDP also said that Buhari had no answers to Trump’s stance that the U.S. had not been investing substantially in Nigeria owing to the unconducive economic climate under his administration, further confirming the stand of the PDP that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was running a moribund economy.

More disturbing, PDP noted, was the revelation by Trump that the U.S. has been supporting Nigeria with the sum of $1 billion annually whereas Buhari, in his script, announced that Nigeria received only $500 million last year.

“We had expected President Buhari, as the ‘African Champion on Anti-Corruption’, to immediately respond to President Trump on the whereabouts of the shortfall of $500 million.

“It is also inexcusable that President Buhari had no answers to the security situation of daily bloodletting and mass killings in Nigeria, which President Trump described as ‘horrible’. Instead, he restricted himself to his script, which was silent on the issue.

“By this, the American government has summarily indicted President Buhari’s government on its failure to ensure security of lives and property of Nigerian citizens.

“On the whole, the visit surmises photo-ops of President Buhari in the White House in a bilateral session where President Trump was committed to marketing the U.S. to the most populous black nation,” the PDP said.

The peformance is nothing to write home about

This regional party again.

I was in stitches of laughter when they said they were shopping for a candidate from other parties.


The penny seems to have dropped....No person of credible candidature would want to be part of this corrupt, archaic and regional party.

What do you expect from a frustrated party which has been reduced to cry-cry baby?

PMB performed excellently well, hence nothing for them to trend with this time around.

The irony is that they say PMB is bad, he's this, he's that. Yet they openly say they're looking for a candidate who can surpass his qualities especially in integrity.

What a confused set of people playing with the heads of their frustrated wailing zombies.

Honestly, some people talk rubbish as if they don't live in Nigeria. Show us where any party or anyone for that matter ever said they are ''looking for someone to surpass his qualities and integrity''!! Which qualities and integrity?? You are just decieving yourselves. The economy is in total shambles, killings going on in some parts of the country EVERYDAY, prices of goods & commondity have double or trippled, and you are saying ''he's this he's that'' Can you say your life should be like the way Buhari has been ruling Nigeria?
