Elder statesman and First Republic Federal Commissioner for Information, Edwin Clark has faulted President Muhammadu Buhari’s medical trip to London, United Kingdom.
According to him, the President should have handed over power to Vice President Temi Osibanjo before jetting out of the country as he cannot run Nigeria from abroad.
Clark, who spoke during a press conference in Abuja, said as President, he should inform Nigerians about whatever ailment he had been suffering from.
“Buhari should tell Nigerians the sickness he is suffering”, he said.
He said the Supreme Court should be approached to seek interpretation of what Buhari had been doing without telling Nigerians the details of his health status.
“Nigeria belongs to all of us, we are not running a banana State. Buhari is taking Nigerians for a ride. He doesn’t have the right to jet out to London without handing over power to the Vice President in line with the constitution.
“At 95 years old, my group has seen enough of this country for more than 70 years. Nigeria is bleeding and only God knows how much of taxpayers money must have been spent by the President on his health. It is arrogance for Buhari to think he can govern Nigeria from abroad. He should hand over power to Osinbajo”, Clark stated.
