The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence at the burial of former President of Nigeria, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, last weekend.

The party said the President’s absence at the funeral, particularly regarding Alhaji Shehu Shagari’s status, as the first Executive President of the nation, was unpardonable and a very wrong precedence in the national protocol.

PDP Presidential Campaign Organization, in a statement on Monday by its Director, Media & Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, said, “this action by the Buhari Presidency has also sent a wrong signal to the international community on our national values and respect for our patriots.”

PDP also noted that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was also absent at President Shehu Shagari’s burial and that the federal government has taken no concrete step to give a state honour to “this very patriotic Nigerian, other than a rather belated directive to fly our national flag at half-mast for just three days and a dramatic visit to Sokoto by President Buhari.

“Sadly, while our beloved President Shagari was at the National Hospital Abuja, passing through his last moments on this realm, President Buhari was busy at his campaign rally in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State, boasting of how he, as military head of state, sacked the Second Republic, arrested and locked up President Shehu Shagari and his officials, in clear violation of our nation’s constitution.

“Such disdain on our respected national figure by President Buhari is completely unpresidential.”

If nothing is indicative of PDP having lost the plot to 2019 election (mere weeks away oooo), this right here seals it..... Dubai strategy failed, it's this emotional tantrum that wee now work? God

Do they care? How can someone who does not care for the living respects the dead?

Zombie tracker where are you?

All na politics.... We Don Wise

It's 2019 put your business on Google and get more clients check my profile

The least they could have done was to attend the burial... Just like this one

PDP you are Failure from the word go.

PDP in Nigeria?
Never again.

Weldon PDP

PDP has big problems

the fact that they don't using PMB be mistakes as campaign keynotes instead of issue base campaign shows they have nothing to offer

Everything is now politics. If Buhari and Osinbanjo go, they will complain and play politics out of it. They decided not to go, PDP is still playing politics out of it.


Nothing pleases man.

All I know is that no matter the slamming, it can't change out mind from voting Buhari/Osinbanjo come February.

4+4=8

We are walking in abundance Moving with the speed of the Holy Ghost We are favoured There’s an overflow, abundance of favour It’s a new level, it’s a new level

PDP has big problems

Very BIG problems they have!

SaintLucia:
This PDP mumu no be small. Did Jonathan attend Yar'Adua burial? Shagari is an ex president and the best Buhari can do is to pay a condolence visit to his family which he did. Buhari being a crowds puller will still be accuse by the same PDP for using Shagari to play politics by the time he visit during the burial when they see people shouting Sai Baba. PDP should learn how to play opposition from Lai.

You've said it all Saint Lucia.
God bless you for these true words.

When people around you
succeed, it shows that the
queue is moving. Don’t be
jealous but rejoice, your turn is nearer

If there's anything I respect APC for, it's the ability to send pdp on a wild goose chase.

Apc has already started campaigns and all, PDPigz are crying over the presence and absence of the President. When apc wins now, PDPigz would start crying like barren witches.

PDP is used to is stealing votes, rigging, federal might and killing themselves. They don't have campaign plans cos they are used to stealing.

PDP and a new low. Muslim burials are done very quickly and it isn't a ceremony where dignitaries are invited.

Apc and Pdp problems'.

Politicizing everything.

u people are just looking for useless excuse, abeg make una go find something to do, some feeble minded nairalander go support without thinking, I no attend my grandmother's burial in 2007, heaven no fall

PDP na our biggest problem... if Osinbajo is there and Buhari is absent that will slam Buhari...PDP

Hahahaha , you saw that too?!

PDP has lost it. Is this the issue based campaign? PMB was among the first to pay condolence visit to the family, the people and the state governor.
Must he be at the burial ceremony, to what is the political and economic importance? PDP is just useless

I really pity all those who thought that PDP was a viable opposition party. The party was never so and this press statement has not only exposed that, but has also shown that the party cannot wrestle power from APC. How them wan do am na? Already the party had many baggage before their presidential primaries and to cap that, they are unable to fashion out a coherent and cohesive campaign strategy. PMB will win. As Nigerians we should be more interested in holding PMB to account on his campaign promises and party's manifesto through sustained advocacy and constructive criticisms, rather than contemplating bringing back a useless entity like the PDP.

it

Well, they don't care about anyone. Infact, to buhari if you are not one of his cows. You are better off dead, ask the Nigerian Army In borno and zamfara states.

Guilty conscience naim Dey worry am cos it was this same Buhari that trauncated the democratic government of Shagari.
