The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says President Muhammadu Buhari’s failure to address Nigerians at the Presidential inauguration shows that the President and his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, are overburdened by the guilt of the rigged Presidential election.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a press statement, said such also shows President Buhari’s insensitivity and the level of derision with which his handlers and party hold Nigerians.
The party said perhaps, the APC is beginning to realize that the Presidential mandate they parade, did not emanate from the people.
The PDP said the failure by President Buhari and the APC to make any commitment at the ceremony reinforces the truism that a product of flawed electoral process cannot serve the people or meet their aspirations under a constitutional democracy.

“It is indeed pathetic that at a ceremony such as Presidential inauguration, where truly elected leaders address their people, make commitments and unfold their governance direction, President Buhari did not showcase his plans or commitment to the development of critical sectors of our polity.
“It also speaks volumes that President Buhari had nothing to say to the victims of mindless killings and acts of violence in various parts of our country.
“Moreover, he had no directions toward stemming the economic distress under his administration, for which Nigerians are now resorting to suicide and slavery mission abroad as options.
The party insisted that in failing to address Nigerians, President Buhari turned the inauguration to a parody.
The PDP, however, urged Nigerians to take solace in their determination to retrieve the stolen Presidential mandate at the tribunal so as to entrench a leadership that can lead the nation out of her present predicament.
