The Unified Nigerian Youth Forum,
UNYF, has called on the federal government to as a matter of great concern stop
all cabinet members and team of followers from seeking medical attention
outside the shores of the country.
If this is done, the forum
believes that the hope of the common man would be restored.
It said that President Buhari’s
foreign medical trip was an indictment on his administration and has clearly
showed the inability of the ruling party, APC, to fulfill her campaign promises
on the country’s health sector as the whole budget to the health sector for
2017 is less than 4 per cent.
A statement issued and made
available to newsmen in Kaduna on Monday by the president of the forum, Comrade
Abdulsalam Muhammad Kazeem, said, “The Presidency should declare a state of
emergency in the health sector, which the then ruling party People Democratic
Party, PDP, failed to address for wasteful 16 years of their leadership and
immediately stop all his cabinet members and team of followers from seeking
medical attention outside Nigeria if done! The hope of common man will be
restore on this administration.”
On the issue of agitations by
Nigerians, UNYF said, “The APC-led administrative should as a matter of urgency
look into the issue of continuous agitation for restructuring for the purpose
of peace, unity and tranquillity.
“As we equally advice the All
Progressive Congress, APC, as a party to replace the Executive Governor of
Kaduna State as her chairman on restructuring because of his double standard
position on the issue that is, when he is not in office and when in office.
“We condemn in totality the
unproductive acts of the Executive Governor of Kogi State declaring a public
holiday for the celebration of the return of Mr. President. We advise him
rather that the better ways to celebrate the return of the President is for him
to pay all outstanding debt of civil servants, re-open all state owns
institutions with immediate effect, resolve his problem with all unions within
and outside the state and to find a lasting solution to the problem rocking the
state house of assembly.
“It is a thing of great joy to
have Mr. President finally back to the country and we wish him sound and good
health as he resumes office to continue to steer the ship of the state.
“We salute the doggedness of the president,
who dim it fit to address the nation in less than 24 hours of his return.
“Mr. President foreign medical
trip is an indictment on his administration and this has clearly show the
inability of the ruling party (APC) to fulfil her campaign promises on our
health sector as the whole budget to the health sector for 2017 is less than
4%.
“The Presidency should declare a
state of emergency in the health sector, which the then ruling party People
Democratic Party (PDP) failed to address for wasteful 16 years of their
leadership and immediately stop all his cabinet members and team of followers
from seeking medical attention outside Nigeria if done! The hope of common man
will be restore on this administration.
“We support and affirm with the
federal government position that henceforth all forms of hate speeches be
termed as an acts of terror and be dealt with accordingly.
“We agreed with the federal
government that the silence of some prominent Nigerians, Business Mongul,
Traditional leaders and some community leaders in the face of incitive
provocation by their son’s and daughters is responsible for the continuous
escalation of the current threats to our national unity.”
Stupid sets of people with stupid demands. You should have first ask your president NEVER to travel abroad again for medical solution. He needs to lead by example.
ReplyDeleteAny citizen have the right to purchase good medical treatment from any part of the world as long as they are paying for it themselves.To blindly impose bans of someone because they are cabinet members is childish and impossible.The government must not pay for such treatment once it's outside of the country,it's that simple
